A new multitool on Kickstarter packs all the tools you might need for measuring and marking into a compact titanium ruler – no unnecessary extras. Made for designers and craftspeople, it could become a great addition to an EDC toolkit.

This charming A-frame offers a surprisingly comfortable take on cabin-style living. It features a spacious single-level interior that's designed more like a cozy rustic retreat than a traditional tiny house.

Leisure Travel Vans has introduced a new Ford Transit motorhome that combines a slide-out wall with a split-recliner Murphy lounge that folds its way into a super-queen-size bed. The new Wonder FX makes sure you'll barely miss home when on the road.

Based on timeless, inalterable physics, the Aerohart Aviator's Ember fire piston sparks a flame with nothing more than tinder, air and a quick smack of the hand. Now the tool has been fully redesigned and improved to work even better.

Virtual reality can take you anywhere, but strap on a headset for long enough and your sore neck brings you back to actual reality. A Kyushu University researcher wants to change that, and his idea is a chair that offers a new way of experiencing VR.

The new Wild Land Pickupmate Trunk is an impressive piece of truck camping kit that fuses several different products into one. It's not quite a rooftop tent, not quite a pickup camping topper and not quite a basic truck cap. It's all three.

It may surprise some to learn that Polaris has a serious research, development, and testing facility. I got a full tour of the place, along with a dedicated test track that I got to use later.

BMW's recently unveiled Vision CE has revived a unique two-wheeler space that does away with helmets. Now, it gets some competition in the form of XYTE One, which combines scooter agility and car-like protection. The best part: No helmets needed!

I'm a sucker for a good "reinventing the wheel" story, and David Henson's 'SurfacePlan' concept is an odd a take on one of humanity's greatest inventions as we've seen in a long time. It's designed to replace engines and drivetrains altogether.

This has to go down as one of the most inventive and ambitious motorcycle designs I've seen in nearly 20 years following two-wheeled innovations. That doesn't mean I'd have the cojones to ride it, especially given its eye-popping steering setup!

In a demonstration not so much of marksmanship but more of the advantages of microwaves, an Epirus Leonidas directed energy, high-power microwave (HPM) anti-drone weapon has knocked 49 Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAV) out of the air with one shot.

The new Aviator's Ember from Aerohart applies aerospace-grade materials to an age-old design, providing powerful fire-starting performance that carries lightly in a pocket. Like an engine piston, it compresses air for fast, furious combustion.
