Flettner rotors depend for their operation upon the "Magnus effect" ... When a cylinder spins at a sufficiently high speed in a transverse wind, the wind flow round the cylinder is unsymmetrical and a pressure is exerted on the cylinder in a direction perpendicular to the wind; thus the cylinder acts like an aerofoil. 2, record 1, English, - Magnus%20effect

Hot-wire anemometer ... is an important device used principally in research on air turbulence and boundary layers. There are two types, known as constant-voltage and constant-temperature. The cooling of an electrically heated fine wire placed in a gas stream which alters wire resistance depends on the fluid velocity. With the constant-voltage type, as soon as the gas starts flowing, the hot wire cools off, the voltage across a Wheatstone bridge connected to the wire is kept constant, and the calibrated galvanometer shows a reading related to the velocity. 5, record 6, English, - hot%2Dwire%20anemometer
