no you did not wind up your car in the 1900s
wind it up
The wind can blow in any direction.

Wind-up Car
Wind up cars work a lot like a wind up clock except with far fewer gears. The spring spins an axle with a large gear on it. That gear drives a much smaller one on another axle that's attached to the wheels. A fancy wind-up will have a speed regulator of some sort (often nothing more than a couple of paddles driven by an intermediary gear. I'd recommend you drop by a local department store and buy a wind up car then take it apart. You'd learn (or be able to figure out) how to prevent the spring from unwinding when you don't want it to (some kind of pawl against the gear teeth). You'd also learn that you better have the car aimed properly before you take off because stopping that spring powered motor isn't going to be easy (maybe not even possible) once you unleash it.

wind farms are built and turbines are put up. As the wind blows it turns the turbines generating electricity.
They work off the same principle of magnets.
Wind deflectors allow for wind and rain to be deflected away from the passengers inside a car when the windows are open. They work because their shape and position make a car more aerodynamic, which forces the wind and precipitation around the open windows instead of into the vehicle.
drag goes up 8times with the doubling of speed.

Wind speeds up evaporation. Example: if u stick a wet towel out a moving car the towel will dry faster than if u leave it in the car.
