It's a bit confusing, but some important points are:
* It only works if you're on land, you can't have a flying device that does this.
* Boats can sail faster than the wind speed, but have do so at an angle to the wind. (Just to convince yourself that this isn't completely strange).
* The wheels rotation on the ground is what drives the propeller, not the other way around.
