She actually refers to a video of Rick Cavallaro who built the Blackbird and does an excellent job explaining how it works...

21:30 : model on level threadmill
36:00 : from tacking downwind to a propeller
38:00 : the yoyo

I had not seen this video nor the examples used in it when I drew mine. Yet it is the logical way to go if you understand the physics and try to explain them, I guess.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
