SAIL magazine has an enclosed, all-weather vehicle that's powered by the breeze. You just turn the carbon-fiber rotor assembly into the wind, and bicycle-gearing takes the drive to the wheels. To gain still more speed, the operator pivots the rotor to gain the benefit of each gust.

You stay dry in the "Ventomobile", and don't use—
or run out of—batteries.
