i also feel like it's a trick. There is no way something moves faster than x2 ground wind, without proper human skill and intervention. every advantage could turn into a disadvantage very fast. timing and alignment play a huge role, just like in a sail boat. The opposing forces are also at play, just like two cars don't collide at 25 each, but at 50 combined. With a thin frame vehicle, to go 40 at a 25 of wind gush is just a skill issue. You cannot however be faster than 50, i think (unless the wind reflects on the ground, giving it an aviation rotation movement???). Also, Veritasium should have use a level in their test.
Cyclists also know that when pedaling against wind. It feels like more effort is required. They should have theoretically calculated twice the speed of wind, so it wouldn't sound like a cookoo free energy gimmick. A plastic bag or a rock could beat this thing, given the alignment of the vehicle or the force of wind.
I would like to know if i am wrong.
