I wonder how one would go about making such machine that would work in zero gravity. Without friction, something else would have to convert part of the wind force to propeller torque. Maybe small turbines could be added that would spin according to apparent wind (forward or backward) and spin the propeller to generate additional lift.
- pengaru 5y agoFun thought exercise, but are there any practical scenarios where one has wind but no gravity?

- pengaru 5y agoIs that really practical considering the already high velocity of the particles? If you matched the downwind particle velocity (>100km/s?) it seems unlikely any mechanical motion compensator could move fast enough to make any significant gain to be worthwhile... but I'm no expert, maybe I'm missing something obvious.
