Congrats, er, swerdna123. Nice piece of kit. I guessed you had a load of blades down below the cart level, but having them right round it is interesting. The size of the x-section compared to those vanes makes it quite turbulent, perhaps, but it seems to be a success judging by the tell-tale flap. It's hard to judge the relative speeds - does it actually go forwards through the vanes, or are the vanes faster than the wind and also the cart? I guess the first. Must be a first of its type for FTW.
Thanks

The cart/flap goes faster than both the wind and the vanes that create it.

And that, that is very very very cool.
