[/quote]If it was powered by wind gradients, it would be even more amazing. It would still be a wind-powered vehicle that goes DDWFTTW. But additionally it would be the most efficient wind powered vehicle.
And pixies too.
So you say, and the data says it's not good at it, let alone not possible.We already did the calculation using your formula and your figures and saw that wind gradients cannot possibly account for its travelling at 2.8x windspeed. Wind gradients can't explain it. Forget about wind gradients.
[/quote]More of your hand-waving, humber? Have you also tried flapping your arms? Flopping about like a fish? Chasing carts in a circle with a fan? Running a non-wind cart on a treadmill?
Let us know how well those work out for you.

"You're not fooling anyone you know."
More canned wit from the used joke salesman.
Like not ddw in a maelstrom .That poor wind vane takes a beating.What you say is generally of no value. Nonetheless it appears you accept that there are several different devices capable of engaging mass systems in motion to effect propulsion and that the direction and speed obtained can be considered downwind faster than the wind. Yet the Albatross does not "tack" according to your definition since it is in no way connected to the ground. You are now trying to make the point (wrongly) that the BB used the wind gradient to go ddwfttw, if that were the case, it still went ddwfttw. You really are as clueless as you are pointless.
Yours took seconds.I truly believe that very few posters, now or ever, truly grasp the depth of Humber's ignorance, especially in the matter of the TM equivalence.
We can stand in awwh, for your loss of the magic cart.We can stand so in awe
A cart made by two cranks. One says he has a paper for publication but is too lazy to complete and submit it. Partly true. He was too lazy to learn what he needed to meet his goal of academic recognition. But, now, in late middle age, he wants to gain that, but again, the easy way.To be honest, I believe that Humber is really starting to run off all the Newbies that are actually trying to understand and learn something.
It would be nice for all concerned, if Humber would try to state a clear objection using the agreed upon meaning of the words, justify it with accepted physics principles, and actually listen to the responses. It's pretty clear this is not going to occur so I personally will only respond when there is some actual coherent info presented, as I would spend an inordinate amount of time responding to nonsense, otherwise.

How's that?
OK.Now that's disappointing. I had foolishly assumed your reply to my question would bear some relation to my question.
I guess we will, in fact, never know.
Gradient AND tacking by the changing wind.JBTH,
Thanks for providing the earlier data. Even if the gradient was 150% and the BB somehow managed to tap into this for the result, as long as it was going faster than WS at the top of the prop, it would have achieved the DDWFTTW claim in contradiction to the post. This was clearly illustrated as having been achieved by the high streamer on the BUFC cart in earlier videos. Even if this were the case, Spork and JB's only error would be in attribution of the principle by which it achieved this. Clearly this isn't so, however.
It is never ddw for one nano-second.
Not even a challenge for a bucket.
