It all gets pretty mind numbing when you start looking at all of the formulas. I'll leave all of that to the mathletes. I just sail as fast as the wind will allow me to.

Actually, this is a new inventions which crosses a previously thought 'uncrossable' boarder. It only works on flat ground and with a vehicle that has very low wind resistance. It translates the energy it recieves from rolling into fan energy, funneling it backwards, making the (extremely light) vehicle go faster than the air that's pushing it. Pretty simple when you think about it.
It'll probably just end up as another 'fun toy' or something. Nothing big here, move along.
