The UCLA Physics Professor loses the $10,000 bet.
I am still unconvinced that the vehicle, which has the propeller turned by the rear wheels, will continue to accelerate on its own as claimed.
It just doesn't pass the basic perpetual motion machine sniff test.
They claim that the effect can only be produced when the vehicle is moving downwind, so that means the vehicle is riding in what would appear to it to be in zero relative wind, so there would be zero wind resistance as the vehicle moves downwind powered by the propeller, which is powered by the rear wheels, which are turned by the forward thrust of the propeller, etc., etc.
I still don't buy it.
This is kinda fascinating
