That why in my bet I put the option of htey mess up the experiment, ive watched that show a shit load, and sometimes theyll just give up, or wont continue, or wont do the myth right. Though, people have been sending this request to this show for 2 years at least. Im sure they know this experiment will decide the future of the internet.

 
I guess that force against the wheels is determined by the coeffecient of friction between the wheels and the treadmill.
Say the belt of the treadmill was covered in glue. It would make a difference because of the adhesion between the tire and the treadmill. Friction also works as a cohesive force. That is why we stick to the floor in the gym instead of falling down when we try to stop real fast.
Glue would significantly increase the friction so yeah that would have an effect. That would make the wheels not free spinning, just like applying the brakes.


 
Can't view streaming media at work. But the question in my mind is this:
Does the fact the belt is spinning backwards increase this cohesive friction to a degree the thrust of the propeller cannot overcome it.

With a strong enough engine, it can break free if the wheels where bolted to the ground.

What I personally think will happen is the plane will either fly too fast and run off the ramp or too slow and fall off the back. Yes, it is a quarter mile long though....but it also has to be straight and level throughout, or the plane could fall of the sides.
I said that too, I dont think it was on this site too. I said "if they can keep it straight"

It increases it, but not enough that the engines cant overcome. As long as the wheels are spinning free. Can a plane take off on ice? That is the other thing though, when the discussion was first brought up, they were talking 747s, not propeller planes. However, after reading about this ultralight, it seems that should make up for it, because they can take off with less than 1/4 mile normally.
