If a boat was in the water and it had a windmill on top of it facing into the wind and the rotating windmill turned a propeller that was in the water (through any necessary gears), but in the opposite direction, would it travel into the direction of the wind?
You can assume that the energy transfer is 100% efficient from the wingmill to the propeller.
Could you explain this in terms of energy or by newtons laws?
