Tilting at windmills .

Oh NO.......NOT a 'you know what '

Trust you to spoil a good interesting discussion LOL

Why would Neptune wearing a hairnet against the wind spill from the turbine spoil the discussion?

Just teasing Lynda. I know Neptune was referring to a cranial interstitial cage interface.

Yes, mustn't use that word. The abbreviation of cranial interstitial cage interface may be more convenient:

Cici , pronounced cheeky.

Everyone could wear cheekies, especially on the naked bike ride!

We always manage to get some good laughs out of the most unlikely subjects , which can only be a positive thing . The thing that made me laugh is that on some other totally unrelated technical forums there are loads of people explaining why this concept is impossible , and quoting truck loads of algebra to prove that it is impossible . Flecc is right when he says that this concept would be more suited to a recumbent trike . I know that it works from the model I made as a kid . An even more unlikely sounding idea is a wind powered vehicle that can travel downwind at a speed more than 3 times the speed of the wind . Nevertheless it has been done . It is interesting to note that the windmill driven boat can travel in any direction relative to the wind , as the rotor automatically faces the wind at all times . I sometimes think that our understanding of the wind and aerodynamics is still in its infancy .

No way, not with Neptunes chill wind blowing!

 

[neptune]

Notice the "brake-man " at the back.

 

[flecc]

Like it, doesn't look as though there are any brakes fitted, and a bit close to the wet stuff too.

 

[neptune]

Maybe that`s why he is wearing a Cici ....

Ooooh.....I WANT one

That looks like fun......away from the water though......

No, no, he means one of these:
(Neither of them is me!)

Or even this:
Propellerhelmet - YouTube

Phew....thats a relief LOL

Like the idea of the propellerhelmet to recharge phone/iPod whilst cycling though......
