How does this cart work? Check here for the video also:

the discussion is

Thanks to Chris Jones.

Here's a Youtube video of a wind-powered cart (with R/C steering)
that goes downwind faster than the wind (DWFTTW) "No it is NOT impossible!".


Jack Goodman in Florida built this cart to end a long argument on the Amateur
Yacht Research Society website (www.ayrs.org)
about whether DWFTTW is even possible -- but it just led to more discussions,
with some believing the video is a hoax. Google "DWFTTW" for more, and there's a
ton of discussion on the ayrs Yahoo! Group. Here's Jack's writeup (PDF).
