Lampbrella
You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. ①But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain nsing umbrella.
The designer says he ②come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street ad saw the street lamps ③lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy built into a street lamp.” he said.
The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or clo the umbrella ④on demand. Sensors then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.
⑤In addition to the rain nsor, there’s also a 360° motion nsor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being ud the canopy is clod.
According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cau harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for veral people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on my street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide she

灯柱伞
你不会每次都预测到大雨到来或记得带上雨伞。但设计师Mikhail Belvacv以为出门前忘记看天气预报不该该致使你淋湿。这就是他创造灯柱伞的原因,一种有雨水感应伞的灯柱。
设计师说他在俄罗斯街头看到人们被雨水淋湿以后提出了这个想法。“有一次,我在圣彼得堡中央街上开车,看到淋湿的人们躲到亮着的路灯下躲雨。我想在街灯上安装一盏伞蓬必然很适合。”他说。
灯柱伞是一盏外形标准的街灯配有一个雨伞蓬。它内部有按照需要可自动开闭的电动马达。传感器保证了无论何时下雨可向行人提供遮蔽。
除下雨传感器,在玻璃纤维的街灯里也安装有可以检测是不是有人需要灯柱伞的360°运动传感器。若是有三分钟没有人用她就会自动关闭。
据设计者称,灯柱伞会以相对低的速度移动,因此不会对行人造成伤害。除此之外,它会
接地以避免可能的雷击。每一个路灯伞会为多位行人提供足够的遮蔽。它安装在离地面2米高的地方,它唯一的不足是可能给高个子行人带来危险。
虽然尚未把这种产品付诸生产的计划,Belyacv最近把他的发明介绍给了墨西哥政府而且坚持这个发明将会安装在我的街道上,因为那儿人流量大却并非提供避雨的檐篷。
