But thats not a part of the problem. The problem is the wheels are traveling the same speed in relation to the treadmill, if you increase thrust and the two speeds are no longer the same, then the point is lost. If you had the treadmill going at 1,000 mph and the plane's wheels going 1,000 mph, the plane won't take off because it can't move to create lift. If the treadmill was going 1,000 mph and the plane was going at 1,001 mph then gradually the plane could take off.

This is one reason why you can't do this myth on mythbusters, it's impossible, the requirements are impossible and anything they do would influence the results.
