The Self-Erecting Tent and 99 Other Great Designs
Via Digg, here's the list of the 2006 Industrial Design Excellence award winners. My favourite is the self-erecting tent:
2SECONDS is a self-erecting tent. Just throw it in the air and it opens on its own before reaching the ground. All that’s required are six pegs to secure it to the ground. The key to the design are the two spring hoops made of fiberglass, a material that reduces the diameter of the hoops and allows it to be easily folded for compact storage.
Other cool ideas are the hydrogen-powered motorcycle and the Camcopter, an unmanned reconaissance helicopter.
