Why do you need to get 100% efficiency? (Let alone more than 100% :-)) You just need to extract more energy than is needed to overcome the extra drag. And as the examples show, it IS possible to do that, just not practical for daily driving. Rather like the solar cars racing across the Australian Outback.
