I have a few in mind. that i intend to build. and they are not designed for anti-zombie use. if i ever take one of them for a spin because I am very upset at something and you happen to be there... well lets just say you & everyone else in town will have a very bad day. 

 

There's the Office Chair of Rolling Death (its an old name), uses a monowheel concept but the wheel is not a wheel, its a ball that can split in two (vertically). so its actually two wheels. about 8 feet in diameter, outside ball material has not been determined, its uses a solid state magnetic propulsion system that basically have no moving parts and nothing to oil or break, the two halves of the sphere can pop open revealing me in a clear Lexan tube... my chair, dual joysticks and 3 foot pedals for control of the machine, the armament is two .22LR machine guns that are computer assisted in aiming, a HUD system that has even more computer assistance. there could be a high power weapon as the secondary. that's undecided and I haven't begun work on how it might function.

the maximum road speed is about 135 kph, it is fuel cell powered, a fuel cell that i designed and only I call it a fuel cell. everyone else calls it something different and makes it sound really dangerous & unstable. the fuel cell system basically gives my vehicle unlimited power until the cell drains itself. it could be recycled in France, North Korea or Iran. No one else does the recycling and even though the US has the technology the people are against the technology. alternatively it could be sealed and encased in concrete, dumped in the deepest part of the ocean. the fuel cell's abilities varies greatly on what material its made of, the best material would give me a useful life of about 38 years, has minimal handling and disposal risks, and could be recycled. the other two materials perform less well but lasts longer and are much easier to obtain. 

the electronics in the vehicle basically makes it a breeze to target and shoot anything at any range up to 900 meters away. the gun's aim is all computer controlled, I tell it where to shoot and the computer calculates distance and adjusts for gravity and wind age automatically. I can easily rain down .22lr bullets from half a mile away, where no one will hear the shots. the electronics are also very smart, it can identify people and if they they have a gun, tell me whom to kill first based on their level of threat. it will also identify targets even if I can't see them (low light for example). 

the Office Chair of Rolling Death is also EMP proof and has been designed to withstand a large array of electromagnetic weapons that could be used to harm me. 

 

There is a car I designed, not for any kind of combat, just a pleasure to drive mostly. uses the same fuel cell system, similar magnetic drive system, the shell & frame is made of exotic metals such as titanium & magnesium, it can go very fast and has tremendous acceleration. unlike the Office Chair of Rolling Death, the fuel cell system is a bit different, this car's only "fuel" is distilled water, which depending on how its driven, may need to be replenished. it is able to make its own distilled water from regular water. there are alot of electronics in it but the car is also mostly mechanical, if the electronics fail the car will continue to work like nothing happened. it could have an active cloaking device built in (cloaking is not sci-fi anymore) and various weapons of a electronic nature. The car is also able to provide heating, cooling, electrical & mechanical power when not in use. 

 

And finally there is the Road-Train, name taken from huge trucks in Australia, often as much as 200 feet long, called road trains. My Road train is just over 100 feet long and 12 feet wide. It is a huge truck, and it is the most heavily armed vehicle around. It uses a similar fuel cell system as the car, it is heavily armored against small arms attacks, IEDs & landmines. has several computer controlled guns, a howitzer/rocket combo and a light rail gun. the howitzer/rocket combo is for busting up jerks that man road blocks that's really just a stop & rob. the light rail gun is mostly for build buildings, small towns, and showing off. the Road Train has enough bulk to plow thru just about anything, it does have a plow for zombies. It also features full living quarters, storage space, etc. sorta like your armored RV that is ridiculously heavily armed, with 10x more electronic gadgets and produces itself own power, water and electricity.
