Funbrella: The umbrella that simulates rain 26 Oct 2009
The Funbrella is an umbrella that simulates rain (presumably, for those "unlucky" enough to live in areas that are warm and dry most of the year round). Using a mechanism similar to a speaker, it is able to produce vibrations from a signal that feel exactly like real raindrops are falling from the sky and hitting its surface. (It can even record the vibrations made by real raindrops and play them back later for those who want extra realism!)
