Windturbineracer - Stauning 2009

DTU's windturbine car at stauning airport. The windspeed were very low and we are not driving that fast. But at windspeeds around 12 m/s we should be ablo to drive more then 35 km/h.

Maybe i should point out that it is designed to run against the wind and that the rotor drives the car through a transmission.

@bbkbd Then, the faster the car goes into the wind, the more speed is produced at the turbine, thus the car goes faster, and on and on. Theoretically, the car should approach light speed, but unless you put the turbine in a position that will completly shield the car body from the wind, geometric progression of wind frontal forces will limit top speed.
