![]() ![]() Previously the KE of the wind was utilized to drive wind turbines mostly for pumping water and grinding corns. Enormous potential is associated with the kinetic energy of the wind. Of all the non-conventional energy sources wind energy is an inexhaustible, non-polluting, freely available energy. Since then the entire focus of all developing countries turned towards non-conventional sources of energy. The year 1973 has awakened the entire world from the energy crisis. Based on an in-depth analysis on this issue which has been rejected by the academia of science, this article would offer a brief introduction to how the DDWFTTW motion would violate the laws of thermodynamics and the negative consequence of refusing to face this reality. Unfortunately, lacking the awareness of this great challenge to the modern science, the scientific community has yet refused to face this new reality, not because of sober logical reasoning or sincere scientific investigations, but rather solely because of the memories of the past failed attempts to create the so-called perpetual motion machines which are indeed impossible to build. We don't have the affirmation that the DDWFTTW motion would be the only exception to the laws of thermodynamics and we don't yet have the knowledge of the general qualifications for the circumstances when the violation would happen either, although we do know some of its necessary condition as is mentioned in this article. This would undoubtedly impact the foundation of the edifice of modern science profoundly since the laws of thermodynamics is one of its foundational pillars. It is like an athlete who could run or jump over an unlimited distance without the need to eat and rest. ![]() the directly downwind faster-than-the-wind (DDWFTTW) vehicles, as represented by the most famous of its kind, the Blackbird, which can run over an unlimited distance sustained only by its own motion without the need of energy replenishment from the external world. About 200 years ago, the work of an engineer (Carnot) established the foundation of the second law of thermodynamics in the past few decades, the work of engineers around the world has actually created a convincingly undeniable example of the violation of the second law of thermodynamics when irrelevant higher order dissipation is ignored, i.e. ![]()
