You don't get infinite acceleration from one velocity difference. End of story.
Given a steady source of energy, you can accelerate as much as you like, up to the limit of losses due to friction. What do you think is going to prevent that? More energy, more acceleration.
And again, remember that the ability to extract energy from the velocity difference is independent of the vehicle's speed. The acceleration isn't infinite of course, because the energy has to come from somewhere--but so long as the velocity difference between the media persists, energy can be extracted. In this case, that means "as long as the wind is blowing", since the energy to move a lightweight vehicle around isn't going to make much of a difference compared to the total energy in the atmosphere.
Funny; demands to make a bet seem pretty common around this whole matter.
Demands? More like an offer of free money, wouldn't you say? I mean, you'd just have to prove that their clearly impossible machine indeed doesn't work, right?
