This one is still in the labs, but it promises to answer the age-old question: How exactly does bread become toast? Sure, you can find this out by using a toaster oven, but wouldn’t you rather have a transparent toaster? The idea is based on a transparent heating glass technology that’s not quite ready for prime time.

In home settings, these shiny orbs are designed to be precision wave guides that disperse music in a 360-degree pattern. The Duevel Planets are handmade in Germany and use a specialty short horn tweeter, high-efficiency 5.9-inch (15-centimeter) woofer. The speakers require 10 watts of power per side to produce sound at a sensitivity of 85 decibels. Tailored to be used as the front, left and right channels in home theaters, the orbs sort of look like an homage to Earth and the moon.
Price tag: $1,300 (with some paint finishes costing $100 extra)
