These only work because the vehicle is constrained. This makes the wheels turn at a speed proportional to the speed of the turntable or treadmill or whatever the wheels are riding on. The gearing from the wheels to the propellor will then determine how much forward thrust comes from the prop. There is no magic involved. If the vehicle is not constrained, it will not go forward.
Wish you guys would come on Reddit and link to demos like this; th DDWFTTW concept is hard for people to wrap their minds around and invariably leads to shouting matches.
"hard for people to wrap their minds around and invariably leads to shouting matches."
I would add that if something debated is "hard for people to wrap their minds around" that it will inevitably "lead to shouting matches" though not invariably.

sounds like you don't think the unit is a ddwfttw vehicle

So you are saying all cars should have built-in wind turbines?

@SolarizeYourLife sure if the road is motorized, it'd be the same thing

@superhakujin It is hard to wrap your head around any complete concept like this without understanding the basics.
It is convoluted by the fact that people purporting to explain the mystery are incorrectly answering questions.
People have also been misled into believing this is not understood and other such nonsense.
The whole thing is botched.

Wow. That's fantastic. Better even than the treadmill ones.
And it goes so fast!
