Another model demonstrating the principle of the cart that moves down wind faster than the wind. Inspired by some ideas posted on the discussion at forums.randi.org, I made a simple cart that is propelled underneath a moving surface, faster than that surface. The large wheel, turning against the direction of movement of the ruler, is very similar to the propeller of the wind-powered cart, turning against the wind.

She was made in Sri Lanka for Barefoot: www.barefootusa.com If you want to read more about downwind faster than the wind: peswiki.com dwfttw.blogspot.com en.wikipedia.org
Here’s a vid of Dust in the wind! Seems like its their reunion concert! Enjoy!! Lyrics: I close my eyes only for a moment and the moment’s gone all my dreams pass before my eyes a curiosity dust in the wind all we are is dust in the wind Same old song just a drop of water in the endless sea all we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see dust in the wind all we are is dust in the wind Now, don’t hang on nothing last forever but the earth and sky it slips away And all your money won’t another minute buy Dust in the wind all we are is dust in the wind dust in the wind everything is dust in the wind
