    Look out for v2.0 which also features a sail on the front which you blow to go faster.

    Okay, but blowing on a sail to go faster is actually a thing. Mythbusters even stated that they did their experiment in the worst method (i.e., not using modern designs and methods), and still found that a fan on a sail could make it move. It's not free energy, but let's not ignore how cool sails are.

    This sounded very wrong to me, so I googled and apparently they had a setup where the reflected air from the sail caused a net flow in the opposite direction allowing them to move forwards. But that is less effective than just blowing the air straight backwards without a sail.
