Sorry about the necro, here's an idea I just had.

Wind Rower

This ship looks like a barque on tracks with several sails that completely wrap around its deck. The Wind Rower is another alternative for large amounts of people or cargo moving through Akaptor. It uses tracks to get maximum traction against the sand, moving in short jerks overland.

The Wind Rower employs its sails to propel itself with the wind, but it isn't pushed like a common ship. Instead, the backward movement in the wind sails forces several scoops into the sand, mooring the vehicle; a torsion spring is fed by the masts' movement meanwhile. Once the masts have been pulled back completely, the torsion spring is released, feeding the engine, removing the scoops, and returning the masts to high position. Gravity throws the scoops back down afterwards, preventing the vehicle from moving backwards even if the wind is against it.

Early engines were ignored in favor of simply having the masts turn the axles, but the staggered motion proved unbearable for most people. Contemporary engines feed a clockwork device, which in turn makes the axles spin inside the tracks. The same engine takes care of steering. Trying to make people row through a piping hot desert is impracticable.

I would refer to the Sand Barques of The Return of the Jedi.
You know - Sort of these Jabba-the-Hutt-Thingies.

Because: If it is obviously no Problem to find some Spark Scratcherz able to cast a Levitation Spell - then You surely will find some who are able to make something like this float. Because this Thing is just one `Item´ - with no Willpower at all. Would be a great Deal of a Business Idea for them either.

The problem there is making something huge levitate. I know Shady makes it sound like it's no biggie, but that's because he's talking about a party of a few people, not a mass of metal carrying people and cargo inside. That should need something else.

Hm... I see. Then we have the first Purpose for the HERMES-Material (which I wrote about earlier in my Collection of exotic Meta-Materials).

Well - it is not the Material itself making it interesting - it´s the Aggregate State it normally is in - it vibrates at a special Rate, so it negotiates the Gravitation Effect. So You can build a Hoverboard. Or something else You like.

Is there a thread where I can discuss the possibility of flying vehicles in Felarya? I figured most of these problems could be solved with them. There would be great restrictions on their use of course, and only specialized pilots would be able to fly them.

Or, I have an even better idea: what about a ground vehicle that has flight capabilities?
