You're absolutely right. The hard part is to get it up to that speed in the first place.
Then you have to keep it under 88mph because, as you know, you never know when you'll end up when the flux capacitor activates without the time circuits engaged.

Hark what is that squeak , squeak noise raising in frequency with speed.

ANSWER -it is my electric fans which are partially seized being turned by the wind pressure!!!!!!!!!

The fact is that any fan will be driven if wind is pushing from the front.

Whether it gets to a situation of adding to the engine is moot, but if the fan is freewheeling anyway , it will be driven by the wind pressure.

Or are all those silly windmills on hills not generating anything, but instead being driven by electric motors inside????Huh??

Are you talking about the Air con condensor fans?
