Figure 3 The Magnus Effect

cf 

The Effect of Magnus is when a rotating cylinder is hit by a free air flow with a lifting force and a pulling force. The forces are strictly dependent on the rotor size, angular velocity and free flow rate. While the air mass in one part of the rotor is accelerating, the air mass on the other side is decelerated. According to the law conservation of energy, it puts a lower pressure on one side and a higher pressure on another part that creates the pushing force. This lifting force or pushing force per unit of length (L1 / l) in terms of movement  este dată de legea lui Kutta-Joukowski.
