Wind-Powered Cart Travels Faster than the WindA wind-powered vehicle recently shattered a world record by traveling <b>2.8 times</b> faster than the speed of the wind that propelled it. Rick Cavallaro and his crew at fasterthanthewind.org knew they could break the record with their simple -- but mind boggling -- lightweight aerodynamic cart. The wheels of the vehicle spin the 17 foot wind turbine, which in turn gets a boost from the prevailing winds, transferring power back to the wheels. Through a remarkable feat of physics the cart goes faster than the wind.1
