The Proton air conditioner, designed by Michael Laut, is not only a lot slicker looking than your standard AC unit, but it's also much quieter and more environmentally friendly. That's because it uses ionization to do its job.

And hey, it'll even water your plants for you! Place it over you plants and the condensation produced by the compressor will water whatever you place below it. Combine this with the fact that it's made from a corn-based, eco-friendly plastic, and you've got an air conditioner that's a step above what we've got now.
