(1) Indoor Clouds
That’s not Photoshop. The Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde has developed a way to create a small, perfect white cloud in the middle of a room. It requires meticulous planning: the temperature, humidity and lighting all have to be just so. Once everything is ready, Smilde summons the cloud out of the air using a fog machine. It lasts only moments, but the effect is dramatic and strangely moving. It evokes both the surrealism of Magritte and the classical beauty of the old masters while reminding us of the ephemerality of art and nature.

Price: Free
(3) The Motion-Activated Screwdriver
Price: $40
The sensors found in smart phones and Nintendo Wii controllers have
migrated into Black & Decker’s cordless 4v MAX Gyro, billed as the
world’s first motion-activated screwdriver. Tilt it right by a mere
quarter of an inch and it screws clockwise to tighten; left, and it
turns counterclockwise—all thanks to an internal gyroscope that senses
wrist motions, which are measured by a small microprocessor that turns
those movements into changes in the drill’s speed and direction.

(4) LiquiGlide
Price: 25¢ per bottle (estimated)
Five MIT students and their professor Kripa Varanasi have come up with a
way to make a surface that anything will slide off—from ketchup out of
bottles to ice off airplane wings. The plant-based product adds a
microscopic slippery coating to almost any material—glass, ceramic,
metal or plastic.

(5) OraQuick Home HIV Test
Price: $40
With just a swab of saliva and 20 minutes, OraQuick can identify the
antibodies that signal HIV infection. It’s the first DIY test for
HIV—the same one that health professionals use but without the trip to a
doctor’s office or the need to wait days for results. The kit includes a
24-hour help line and resources for dealing with a positive result.

Price: $50
Freelance designer Gabriele Diamanti created this solar-powered
distiller for use in coastal areas in the third world that are deprived
of freshwater. It is half as expensive and 67% more efficient than
existing models, and his hope is that local manufacturers will adopt the
open-source design and mass-produce it for local populations.
(7) Enable Talk Gloves
Price: $75
Four Ukrainian students have created gloves that allow speech- and
hearing-impaired people to communicate with those who don’t use or
understand sign language. The gloves are equipped with sensors that
recognize sign language and translate it into text on a smart phone,
which then converts the text to spoken words.

Price: $150
By knitting thread into a single layer to fit around your foot—instead
of cutting and sewing together multiple materials—engineers at Nike not
only made this sneaker lighter (just 5.6 oz., or 160 g) but also gave it
a precision fit: the weave alternately grips and gives despite the
absence of liners or reinforcements. Plus, it’s eco-friendly, with less
waste left on the factory floor.

(10) Self-inflating tires
Price: $200 each (estimated)
As soon as the pressure in these Goodyear tires (which don’t have an
official retail price yet) gets too low, they know it. An internal
pressure regulator opens to allow air to flow into a pumping tube, and
as the wheel turns, the flattened part helps squeeze air from the tube
through an inlet valve into the tire. Once the air pressure hits an
optimal level, the regulator closes—all without the driver’s realizing
anything was wrong.
(11) Bounce Imaging
Price: $500 (estimated)
An MIT student and an Army Ranger have come up with a way to provide
first responders with the kind of technology elite SEAL teams have. To
give firefighters and cops a full picture of a burning building or a
hostage situation, the baseball-size orb is tossed into the area. Its
six cameras snap pictures while its sensors detect air quality,
temperature, radiation and other hazards. It then beams the data to
mobile devices.

Price: $555
Women are not small men. Finally realizing this, the U.S. military is
testing body armor designed expressly for a woman’s body. Current
designs are too loose and too long, leaving gaps that might make some
women more vulnerable to bullets and shrapnel. Even a men’s extra-small
is too big for 85% of female troops. The 101st Airborne Division’s 1st
Brigade will test the new armor during an upcoming deployment to
Afghanistan.

Digital cameras have been getting smaller and more capable every year,
but that trend took a huge leap forward in 2012 with the Sony RX100,
which bridges the gap between point-and-shoots and pro-quality digital
SLRs. Sony’s innovative design and 1-in. (2.5 cm) sensor allow the
camera to take flawless photos even though it’s 20% slimmer than your
average digital SLR—small enough to fit in your pocket.

Price: $600–$2,000 per wingsuit
Flying humans wearing batlike suits competed in October in the first ever Wingsuit Flying World Championship in China. Participants descended from 5,000-ft. (1,500 m) cliffs, glided through a valley course and eventually parachuted down, covering about 3⁄4 of a mile (more than a kilometer) in about 30 seconds. The winner: South African Julian Boulle—one of just 20 people currently qualified to compete—who finished in 23.41 sec., a world record.

(20) A Drifting Fish Farm
Price: $750,000 (estimated)
Kampachi Farms, a mariculture company in Hawaii, is devising a way to
meet our insatiable desire for sushi with a farming method that has near
zero environmental impact. By filling 100-ft. (30 m) copper-alloy mesh
cages with fingerlings and letting them drift, tracked by GPS, in
deepwater ocean, the company hopes to harvest thousands of tons of
sustainable sashimi-grade kampachi. In 2011 it tested 20-ft. (6 m) pens 3
to 75 miles (5 to 120 km) off Hawaii. After six months, they yielded
10,000 lb. (4,500 kg) of kampachi, which grew twice as fast as expected.
