Dora, several people have built the carts and posted videos. Search "DDWFTTW" on Youtube.

Here's another one:

Dora mia, no need to take my word for it. He did fail initially and then just after we demonstrated our large cart, he built another one and surprised himself with success.

Here is his video:

Contact him directly and he'll confirm.

I'll be happy to meet you. You can see it with your own eyes and touch it with your own hands.

You're in the SF bay area, right? I'd like to see this for my own eyes.

The fact that the physics police failed doesn't make it impossible - it makes them incompetent. I built one that works as advertised.

Build my own? No thanks. I can find better ways to waste $80. ThePhysicsPolice built one, and it failed to work. Well, Bubbleboy insists that thats not the case, so I suppose we should all take his word.

"It appears that no one has been able to replicate this experiment and post their results here? That's proof enough for me."

Or at least no one has tried. Jack has done it and we have done it. I've posted parts list and build plans so you can do it to. Or you can simply be satisfied that it's impossible.

It appears that no one has been able to replicate this experiment and post their results here? That's proof enough for me.

We've been going down wind faster than the speed of the wind for years now. We do it with kites, and we do it in a kite buggy.

It is easiest to do on a hard flat surface(dry lake bed) but it's just using apparent wind, which allows us to travel almost 3 times the wind speed.
