Downwind faster as the wind, selfaccelerating runner

[JuanDelaTorre]

   The fastest tack when sailboat racing is a broad reach.  This combines the pressure of the wind that pops the hull forward like squeezing a marble and having it pop forward :    with the development of a low pressure or partial vacuum just ahead of the aerfoil of the sail.  The wind can be blowing 20knots and the boat does 30.

Hello sparks,

When I first read the title, I immediately thought of sailingâ€"exactly what your comment states.  Your comment is 100% correct, but that isn’t what is occurring here.  What made me see the affect is in this video:

Let me see if I can explain what I think is happening.  The momentum of the car make the wheels turn; this makes the propeller spin, creating a forward thrust.   The speed of the wheels are directly proportionate to the thrust of the propeller. Thus, as the speed of the wheels increases there will be a point where the thrust of the propeller will minimize the drag of the vehicle.  I don’t believe it will cause an overunity situation, but a cancelation of drag and with thrust.

Please take another look at it and tell me what you think.

Yes, however such a reality offers the enterprising prospect that even if one may not lift themselves by their own boot straps.....they may, indeed, hold themselves aloft by them.


Considering the greater debate that's been raging over this topic....It becomes ever more glaringly obvious, the exculpatory ease with which many "lettered men" adapt their thinking to eventualities once ridiculed by their infantile and therefore disproportionately large heads.

I was wondering with this technologies if we can stack a lot of "device" one after another one linked together, since the first device generate a lot of wind from the propeller the second device will receive as twice as much wind, the thirds will receive more wind then the first 2. If all the wheel all linked together then the device will increase speed a lot faster.

Now, how you convert that in electricity? The only way I see so far is a track in circle when the stacked device will move around it and put magnet on the device and coil on the track? I don't think using the propeller and connecting on the shaft a wheel with magnet on it will work well on this type of device.

I would be highly interested in seeing the experiment duplicated with winglets installed at the rotor tips.


Hmm.....

   There is alot here to study.  Coanada effect  inertial gain.  Something tells me that it is like the machine I want to put together below.  Turning brake torque into work.
