So when the wind blows off the land, the thing sprouts wheels?

I'd rather go where */I/* want to go, not where the wind wants to take me!

I guess Dennis meant that the water/windmill would be in trouble with an
on-shore breeze. Yep.

At least they covered that in the link. 45 languages on a plaque

If the thing ever existed, it's now part of a Cuban '57 Chevy.
