  1. Hello all,

    I'm happy to announce that the drag generated by a vehicle may be used
    by a windmill as if it was wind. This of course creates extra drag but
    this drag is partially shared with the rider.

    We thus have a free energy situation on our hands here. :-)

    Drag is limited by the size of the vehicle. If any amount of this drag
    is turned into propulsion then that percentage (just) wont be
    available for slowing the vehicle down. It's not-there anymore.

    I have illustrated the concept here.

    Let me think what you hear ok?

    Regards,

    gaby de wilde
