Troops can't always transport water. But now they can transport a water maker. The Tel Aviv, Israel-based company Water-Gen has developed three machines--one that turns air moisture into drinking water, one that purifies the dribbles of air-conditioning units, and one that purifies any water source (such as a small stream), even if it's been poisoned by an enemy. Last year, it made sales to seven countries' militaries: the United States, Israel, Great Britain, France, India, Mexico, and an unnamed Arab state. The company's revenue grew 50% last year, and it expects 300% growth in 2014.

A former special-forces commander in the Israel Defense Forces created Water-Gen, and although the company may expand to other industries, for now it's targeting only militaries. To hear how the tech works in action,Fast Companytalked to Major Alisa Zevin, head of the Israeli army's facilities and specialized-equipment department.
