Here is my junker, the hover buggy, designed for the post appocolptic world, where people have trouble getting new parts, and everything is cobbled together from old sources.

Edit, seems like people are posting theirs full sized, so here goes mine to.

The bulb - the carriage of the rich! a multirange rocket/helicopter hybrid which allows intracity flights as well as intercontinental flights. passenger versions have room for up to 20 people but most bulbs are owned by rich industrialists and contain office equipment and/or luxurious furniture.



Good luck everyone!

Ok, well, not the best model here, but Im posting anyways. This is the skyway rail system. It operates by electro magnets that pull the car along the rail. People sit inside the sphere, which rotates, so that the car is always facing up, no matter the direction the craft is going. All is controlled by an automatic computer.

In the image attached:

Top left: Switch track system, uses the same tech

Bottom Left: Skyway itself

Arrow Winter Sailer

After hundreds of years of nuclear war most major cities have been destroyed. There are a few cities around the world but most living is done underground or in radiation safe buildings. The atmosphere is in ruins. Winds blow at hundreds of miles per hour. The only way to travel between far cites and transport cargo and goods is to ride a 'winter sailer' that uses the wind that now blows across the barren earth surface.

cheers!
Jeff

On a far planet in a time when the grand empire of humanity's beacon has since been extinguished, a group of colonists live out their lives. Devoid of the high technology they once had, the colonists now use the domesticated prairy beasts to haul their wares and such from one town to another.

In the not to distant future:
The world has been devestated by a decades long war. Most cities are in ruins, but still function out of the necesity to supply the war effort. The population can no longer afford individual transportation, and no road system remains intact. What raw material there is is mostly devoted to the war effort, but what little is left goes to the construction of the monolithic transports that crawl slowly over the city, removing rubble and moving people back and forth from the factories that work day and night to build the machines of war...


ENTRY1.jpg
Holds about 300, extra people get to sit on the roof.
Claws extend from the front to remove rubble from its path.
Good luck everyone, and thanks to everybody who helped me, it was much appreciated.

The worlds fuels supplies have run out, no viable alternative has been found. The world returns to the age of sail and animal power, with small isolations of power production (via solar collection and wind farms). The only remaining high tech item still functioning is the Anti-Grav generator. A single power cell will keep a generator functioning almost indefinitely. A gravity compensator enables the craft (or building) to remain stationary or to be move by wind or animal power.

Feel the fear and do it anyway
