the same way that a sail boat can go faster then the wind, and the same way that the tip of a wind turbine can go faster then the speed of sound (was a problem with some exprimental turbines), it works because insted of working as a drage device (cup getting pulled with the wind) it's working as an air foil, simaler to a kite, sail, propeller or wing, they are all air foils.
the book New Electric Vehicle, has a chaptor on an air foil car that is simaler, it has a horse shoe shaped wing.
