No, it doesn’t sound like that at all. There’s a limit to how much faster the vehicle can exceed wind speed, and an external source of energy.

It would be amusing to roll it down a hill on a windless day.

Actually, that's a really cool thought. Wouldn't be that difficult to set that up. Put the vehicle on a downward sloping treadmill in a windless environment.

That’s why they aren’t doing that.

They probably need to make it a little sturdier, perhaps with Wright Brothers-style wires.

[spoiler alert: no] In this video I combine Robert Boyle's self flowing flask with Polyethylene Gycol, the self pouring or self siphoning liquid in order to attempt a perpetual motion flow system. I make the internet version of Boyle's flask to attempt this then I show the neat properties of the polyethylene glycol. Then talk about how perpetual motion is actually possible with superfluids.
