Gone with the wind (or something like that)
I came across a video about an astonishing wind powered vehicle that travels faster that the wind going straight downwind.
So it moves forward faster than the wind and even accelerates while encountering a virtual headwind. There is even a vane on the tip of the craft that goes backwards, indicating virtual headwind.
Impossible, a trick? I could not work it out until well into the video:
I can explain how it works more clearly than the video does, if anyone is interested.
The same car could well be used to drive straight into the wind, it just needs different gearing then (more propeller rotations per distance traveled).
