Imagine 4 moderators all in the same thread moving in opposite directions....will the thread fly........
Now I imagine 4 moderators in the same plane trying to take off that conveyor belt pointed at Australia ...
I just saw a show on Discovery channel. It was about different kinds of bicycles. Included in the group was a treadmill bike. The end of the treadmill was in contact with the rear wheel, no other source of propulsion. It was really neat to see that with the operator walking normally the progress made by the bike compared with walking normally.
Anyone want to guess?

Hi Cal,
Ahhhh, ... the bike took off? (after all, it wasn't in Vancouver)
You did ask you know.

Actually the answer is simple if you look at it. Oops I think I just gave it away.
Believe it or not, it helps to understand the plane thing. <ducking again>

Hi Cal,
Actually, the wheels and treadmill can do whatever they want. They are not coupled to the plane except as to fix the location of the wheels. <zing! as he runs out>

Quasi,
I like your cat.
Does the treadmill fly backwards or forwards? Or is it just stuck to the plane?

My wife's cat as a kitten. Her name is Chloe Maybeline Diana Pussycat (the cat's name not my my wife's). her birth name was Chloe Maybeline Pussycat, but my wife changed her name after the Princess' demise.

OK so if we agree on that, am I safe to say that if, hypothetically, the wheels have a circumference of one metre and the total length of the belt is 100 meters and you put a mark on both that the marks will line up again after 100 rotations of the belt (or wheel for that matter), regardless of the the belt direction?
