Google-Backed Wind-Powered Car Goes Faster Than the Wind 393
sterlingda writes "A wind-powered car has been clocked in the US traveling downwind 2.85 times faster than the 13.5 mph wind. The definitive research by Rick Cavallaro of FasterThanTheWind.org is being funded by Google and Joby Energy. The run should now settle the DWFTTW (downwind faster than the wind) debate that has been raging for some time on the Internet about whether or not such a feat was possible."

Finally, I came to the conclusion: Thank god I'm not a physicist!

I built one next week. It worked great. Now I need some parts, and new verb tenses.
