Abstract

The present work presents the results of an experimental study of models of air turbines operating with the Magnus effect with a horizontal and a vertical axis of rotation. Pressure and velocity were measured with wireless data transfer equipment. Model air turbines are described and their main geometrical dimensions are presented. The experiments were done in a wind tunnel, and the working models were tested with different numbers of rotating cylinders. The problems in creating the small turbines and the limitations in their operation are discussed.
