Joel Egan and Robert Humble aren't your average architects, and they have a wild idea for their latest project. They want to turn two 40-foot shipping containers into a modern, eco-friendly home. The crew constructs the home out of two metal boxes, then tries to maneuver 80 feet of prefabricated steel down a muddy goat trail in the rainy state of Washington.

• Aug. 16, 8:30 a.m. ET/PT

Home studio musicians won't be able to wait to get their hands on a new guitar that streamlines music directly into a computer through a USB connection. For gadget gurus on-the-go, a new solar panel backpack lets you charge small electronic devices wherever you roam. A new take on the traditional pet crate will have you saying goodbye to those bulky crates that don't fit your home decor. Plus, when Fido is roaming free in your house, a new cord covering will help deter him from chewing on electrical cords.
