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. 1, record 2, English, - Magnus%20effect

Le bateau de l'équipe Cousteau par exemple, a repris cette idée de bateau à voile et s'est inspiré d'un principe dont la découverte remonte à 1852 : l'effet Magnus qui affirme qu'un cylindre en rotation placé dans un courant d'air subit une poussée perpendiculaire au vent.
