Those "wind turbines" are definitely helping... because energy gets magically created, right?

Ah yes because a wind generator is magic.
(It would work if the bike is stationary or in some conditions if the wind direction is right relative to the bike direction.)
But probably it loses more in drag than it gains in generation, except when the bike is stopped

Yeah I meant while in motion. Otherwise airplanes with propellers wouldn't need fuel.

"It's legit," but also, "How true these numbers are, no one seems to have a clue. Clearly because there is no proof of this thing even running."

Seems like you'd get knocked over by a big gust with all that surface area up top. Even on my steel MTB fully loaded up, having a frame bag allows the wind to have a pretty noticeable effect sometimes.
