  2. Magnus effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect

    e. The Magnus effect is a phenomenon that occurs when a spinning object is moving through a fluid. A lift force acts on the spinning object and its path may be deflected in a manner not present when it is not spinning. The strength and direction of the Magnus effect is dependent on the speed and direction the of rotation of the object. [1]

  3. Kutta–Joukowski theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kutta–Joukowski_theorem

    Kutta–Joukowski theorem. The Kutta–Joukowski theorem is a fundamental theorem in aerodynamics used for the calculation of lift of an airfoil (and any two-dimensional body including circular cylinders) translating in a uniform fluid at a constant speed so large that the flow seen in the body-fixed frame is steady and unseparated. The theorem ...

  4. External ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_ballistics

    External ballistics or exterior ballistics is the part of ballistics that deals with the behavior of a projectile in flight. The projectile may be powered or un-powered, guided or unguided, spin or fin stabilized, flying through an atmosphere or in the vacuum of space, but most certainly flying under the influence of a gravitational field.

  5. Pressure-gradient force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-gradient_force

    The Magnus effect is an observable phenomenon that is commonly associated with a spinning object moving through a fluid. The path of the spinning object is deflected in a manner that is not present when the object is not spinning. The deflection can be explained by the difference in pressure of the fluid on opposite sides of the spinning object.

  6. Dew point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point

    The dew point of a given body of air is the temperature to which it must be cooled to become saturated with water vapor. This temperature depends on the pressure and water content of the air. When the air is cooled below the dew point, its moisture capacity is reduced and airborne water vapor will condense to form liquid water known as dew. [1]

  7. Flettner rotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flettner_rotor

    Flettner rotor. A Flettner rotor is a smooth cylinder with disc end plates which is spun along its long axis and, as air passes at right angles across it, the Magnus effect causes an aerodynamic force to be generated in the direction perpendicular to both the long axis and the direction of airflow. [1] The rotor sail is named after the German ...

  8. Rotor ship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotor_ship

    Rotor ship E-Ship 1. A rotor ship is a type of ship designed to use the Magnus effect for propulsion. The ship is propelled, at least in part, by large powered vertical rotors, sometimes known as rotor sails. German engineer Anton Flettner was the first to build a ship that attempted to tap this force for propulsion, and ships using his type of ...

  9. Airborne wind energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airborne_wind_energy

    Airborne wind energy. Airborne wind energy (AWE) is the direct use or generation of wind energy by the use of aerodynamic or aerostatic lift devices. AWE technology is able to harvest high altitude winds, in contrast to wind turbines, which use a rotor mounted on a tower. The term high-altitude wind power (HAWP) has been used to refer to AWE ...
