A follow-up to the recent great Wired story, One Man’s Quest to Outrace Wind. Turns out there’s all kinds of Directly Downwind Faster than the Wind information out there, and I love these videos:
- Under the ruler faster than the ruler
- Under the ruler 2: the ground moves
- Under the ruler 3: tilting the ruler
Makes my brain hurt. I don’t understand why the big wheel turns in the direction that it turns. Dunce caps for me and poor hapless George, I guess.
