Building the Vehicle Physicists Called Impossible (feat. Veritasium), OverUnity?

[TommeyReed]

Hi All,

This is very interesting project that might show OverUnity

I'm working on a new design as a generator, could it be over unity?

I disagree.

If that was all cause by the wind, then explain how the treadmill experiment was able accelerate the trike wheels while the thrust from the propeller was moving it in opposite direction?

Quite simple really Tom

Look at how fast the treadmill is turning the wheels, and look how fast the trike is traveling up the treadmill.
Much like having a pushbike in top gear, where your feet are traveling a lot slower than the bike is along the road.

Brad,

I also disagree.

If that was the case of gears yes, but the thrust is what is moving it forward. Totally different physics then mechanical connections.

Try that with gears only, impossible!

It can be done with gears and wheels only.

If we look at the prop in the case of the treadmill, it is pushing against stationary air.
If we build a vehicle, where we have a wheel running on the treadmill bed, and we then run that wheel through a gearbox, and have a set of wheels linked to that gearbox output ,on the stationary part of the treadmill alongside the moving bed, then we could get that vehicle to climb up hill against the bed traveling downhill.

I did think it was an interesting effect when i first seen it, but also well within the laws of physics.
