Kazbrella – an umbrella that never drips thanks to a revolutionary mechanism

The umbrella as we know it is almost as old as the Earth, having existed in a similar form for 3,000 years. Still, it took until 2015 to find the perfect one. We have to thank the innovator and engineer Jenan Kazim, who reinvented it. In fact, there are no differences on the outside, and even then, he only made one change, but this is a key one. An opening and closing mechanism that closes the "eaves" on the inside (but unfolds like a flower) and why the folded umbrella never drips.

Sony's LED bulb is also a Bluetooth speaker

Music and light are a tried and tested system and David Bowie already found out that they go well together in the song Sound and Vision. Now Sony has also come to this realization, offering them both under the same roof. The Japanese brand announced the arrival of an LED lamp and a Bluetooth speaker in one, with a thread that fits into a classic bulb socket. Because why would a light bulb only fill a room with light, when it can also fill it with music.

Hydaway - foldable bag from Kickstarter

The problem with all jugs and bottles is that they take up a lot of space, which we know quickly runs out of in bags, backpacks and elsewhere.

You can pre-order it in one of six colors on Kickstarter, where it has far surpassed its financial goal.

Cities with tallest buildings in the world [infographic]

Believe it or not, even when it comes to the height of the building, there have been disputes. The title of the tallest building is somehow too tempting to give up without a fight. Thus, the bone of contention between the skyscrapers 40 Wall Street and the Chrysler Building in the "Big Apple" was the antenna, as both buildings were then competing for the title of tallest building in the world. Today, this title belongs to the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (UAE). It can also boast of quite a few "lengths", while American and Chinese cities are famous for the tallest buildings in the world.
