Fortunately in our business we can get our hands on some nice video equipment that's laying around. Unfortunately we don't have anyone to actually run that equipment while we work so we just move these around on the tripods and hope for the best.
In 2009 we set out to conclusively answer the following question... Can a vehicle be built which can go directly downwind, faster than the wind (DDWFTTW), powered only by the wind, steady state? On 3 July 2010 we established a world record by going directly downwind at 2.8 times the true wind speed with the Blackbird. Now we have begun to modify the Blackbird with the intention of going directly UP-wind faster than the wind - steady state.

We've got the crazy idea that as we get closer to the end of the project and towards the actual demonstration of the cart we might get someone from say the Science Channel interested into turning it into a segment or entire episode. With this in mind we have taken to recording a lot of footage of the design and build process. With this footage in the can, we believe it will be a lot easier to get someone interested at that later date.
