【话题导读】灯柱伞是一种有雨水感应伞的灯柱，这样人们在 忘记带雨伞时就不会挨淋了。

Lampbrella

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. ①

But designer Mikhail Belvacv

doesn’t t

hink 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 sensing umbrella.

The designer says he

②

come 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 ③

lighting

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

close

the

umbrella

④

on

demand.

Sensors

then

ensure

that

the

umbrella

offers p

edestrians

shelter whenever it starts raining.

⑤

In addition to

the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the

fiberglass

street

lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the

canopy is closed.

According

to

the

designer,

the

lampbrella

would

move

at

a

relatively

low

speed,

so

as

not

to

cause

harm

to

the

pedestrians.

Besides,

it

would

be

grounded

to

protect

from

possible

lighting

strike.

Each

lampbrella

would

offer

enough

shelter

for

several

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 shelter.

灯柱伞

你不会每次都预测到大雨到来 或者记得带上雨伞。但设计师

Mikhail Belvacv

认为出门前忘记看天气预报

不应该导致你淋湿。这就是他创造灯柱伞的原因，一种有雨水 感应伞的灯柱。

1

设计师说他在俄罗斯街头看到人们被雨水淋湿之后提出了这个想法。

“

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一定很合适。

”他说。

灯柱伞是一盏外形标准的街灯配有一个雨伞蓬。它内部有根据需要 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。

除了下雨传感器，在玻璃纤维的街灯里也安装有可以检测是否有人需要灯柱伞 的

360°运动传感器。如果有

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

它唯一的不足是可能给高个子

行人带 来危险。

尽管还没有把这种产品付诸生产的计划，

最近把他的发明介绍给了墨西哥政府并且坚持这个发明将< /p>

会安装在我的街道上，因为那儿人流量大却并不提供避雨的檐篷。

Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the

company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle

—

named the

Transition

–

has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The

Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for

eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles

per hour

on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour

in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.

Around 100 people have already put down a $$10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on

sale,

and

those

numbers

will

likely

rise

after

Terrafugia

introduces

the

Transition

to

the

public

later

this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s

5

expected to cost $$279, it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.

Inventors

have

been

trying

to

make

flying

cars

since

the

1930s,

according

to

Robert

Mann,

an

airline

industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a

reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier

for

the

vehicle

to

fly.

The

Transition is

now

going

through

crash

tests

to

make

sure

it

meets

federal

safety standards.

Mann

said

Terrafugia

was

helped

by

the

Federal

Aviation

Administration’s

decision

five

years

ago

to create a

separate

set of standards for light

sport

aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots

of larger planes. Terrafugia

says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the

Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.
