it’s worth noting, there are thousands of people around you every day who think this is a good idea

Crazy power.


OK, but does crazy power translate to ludicrous speed?

They misspelled SAILS for some reason.


I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen a sail at 200 meters above the goddamn boat.

have an idea for a car replacement: a cart with four wheels being pulled by a horse.


Yea, but you got that flatulence issue to deal with.

Sure they could. It will just take a lot longer and be much more expensive.


It isn’t to replace the engine. It’s to tap on the energy that’s otherwise just blowing by.

Honestly, as cheap as myself is, if I owned a cargo ship, I would have tried this years ago and see if I could save on fuel.
