@dlstb Instead of having 'doubt's and considering yourself smart because of it, why not go get a basic education? The wind isn't blowing the blades back, it's blowing them around. With the spinning and flow of the wind the blades need to be on a diagonal, but the force imparted by the wind is almost all pushing it around faster, not back. Use that to spin a prop, which has far higher traction in the denser water, and it will easily pull the boat forward against the small drag of the wind.

GREAT IDEA TAKING NOTE!

What if you want to go a different direction? Wait for a favorable wind?

@c6rocks It's not meant to be a complete sailing solution. Just demonstrates the principle which can be applied to other boats which have the ability to sail on different tacks.

I doubt the validity of this project. I'm pretty sure you need a guy with a fishing line at the other end of the water you are crossing to pull the boat across as the wind hitting the blades pushes back on the craft harder than the propeller can ever push you forward. It that weren't the case, then we could do the same with cars and we'd all do 70 mph down the highway without using any thing but our own airspeed.

@dlstb You need to check out the other videos on my channel before coming to that conclusion. I've lost count of the number of people who have said exactly the same thing. They and you fail to understand that the power comes from the difference between the velocities of the wind and the water. In the case you mention about the car, the velocities would be the same so that's why it doesn't work.

@ZKMX7 you mean the difference in viscosity between air and water?

@JebacPresretac101 No, the velocity, not viscosity.
