Derek Muller recently considered a theoretical problem of being able to use the wind for propulsion, straight downwind, FASTER than the wind. This is a SW CAD model of the mind-blowingly UN-intuitive solution he provided which I have modeled for your consideration.I suggest opening the model in SW (2013 or +) and pushing on the board from the left.Model is from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCsgoLc_fzIThe original experiment with an actual vehicle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyQwgBAaBag(I have absolutely no association with Veritasium; I just thought this was cool.)
