hi -new but enjoyed years, wit and wisdom
Flettner rotor on a boat - ie. magnus effect
Can the vertical rotor create lift?
a curve balls 'laces' exaggerate and bend the magnus effect.
can you replicate this effect on a rotor?
--perhaps to enable another direction of force-- up
optimally I would like to gain lift -to the vertical -reduce downforce
I understand Kutta–Joukowski as it applies to a cylinder.
horizontal rotor?--unknown omidirectional sailing efficiency
ground effect used as a factor?
