JohnF, as an addition to my post above, watch this video at about the 1:00 minute point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEuAqq8FINw The video I found most compelling was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjt6G8D4x0k showing a model making forward progress on a treadmill. See the sci.physics.research thread "Downwind faster than the wind???" I mentioned earlier for a full discussion. Harald explained how my "physically impossible" argument was wrong, and that video most clearly demonstrates a practical model. -- John Forkosh ( mailto: where j=john and f=forkosh ) |
