Pleasing Zil project from 1970:
YouTube - ZIL screw drive (2)

YouTube - Сross-country vehicle ZIL-29061

This chap traces the system back to 1944 germany and one 'Johannes Raedel', interesting stuff:
Strange screw vehicles Nobody is perfect, I am Nobody

Cheers,

I wonder how that beast would work in the red clay mud of Alabama? I have a feeling that the mud would win.

I'd forgotten about the recent 'Ice Challenger' expedition.

Nah, they've all got it wrong - you got to get the cabin inside the profile of the screw. They obviously didn't read their Black Sapper adventures in the comics of the 1950s (Beano? Beezer? Lion? can't remember...)

Similar vehicle at the end of The Incredibles when The Underminer appears.
