Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?

There are often potholes bigger than the wheelbase of that vehicle ;-)

Looks to be a bumpy ride on my commute

It's gasoline powered for starters and I imagine the mileage blows.

Weeelll....
It's an electric blower (which is subject to a recall -

that's not plugged in, which he pretended to start with a pull cord. And they added gas blower sound to it. So I'm not sure how to evaluate....

Not to mention that particular model of Troy Bilt was recalled for safety hazard, and they seem to have given up on the electric model altogether

Newton's first law saws the concept is fundammentally flawed anyway.

As any child knows who has tried to make a balloon-powered sailboat.

Notice that the wheels have been removed and the bucket placed on a skate board.

Also note that the "sail" seems to be being blown inwards from the front, not outwards from the blower.

Now pointing it backwards instead....

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

I wonder if that is a powered skate board the bucket is sitting on?

Already done in Barbarella.

You can see the battery pack under the skateboard, but it looks like he's going on gradual downslopes, most of the time
