Areaware Aluminum Ruler

Using a novel design to improve the act of measuring, the Areaware Aluminum Ruler is likely the last ruler you'll need to buy. As usual, it measures inches on one side and centimeters on the other, but instead of leaving you with endless straight lines, it uses red dots to signify especially important whole numbers, and curves to connect the measurements in between. The result is a tool that's similar to its predecessors in many ways, yet noticeably more enjoyable to use.

Nautilus Underwater Power Drill

There are a number of issues with current underwater power tools. The Nautilus Underwater Power Drill addresses nearly all of them. Foremost among its innovations is an impeller and channel running around the motor at the top of the device, sucking away debris that can seriously hamper visibility. That same system helps keep the motor cool, preventing overheating. And since conventional compressed air tubes restrict movement, it relies on battery power: specifically, standard AA batteries, with small induction coils used to transfer the power than thus prevent any potential rusting of open contacts. Created for a technical design class by Alexander Kaula, it's unknown if the concept will be picked up for production.
