Random guy invents a wind powered vehicle which goes much faster than the wind. Everyone spent a decade telling him it's impossible, but he still built it and proved that it works. This is what happens when you ignore peer consensus and actually do your own science

? These people are stupid!
I wasn’t able to watch the entire video. Do the blades on the propeller act as sails on boats that are going at an angle? Taking advantage of lift?
Ya. Basically the blades on there are at an angle to the wind so it works like 2 sailboats revolving around a center line similar to a screw thread. The propeller is attached to a gear and chain system that turns it into a giant fan. It's actually really ingenious. The bigger the delta between wind speed and vehicle speed is, the faster the propeller turns.
