The Magnus roller of known type - when used alone - is altered in its reactive
resultant by redirecting a wind coming from the front, a wind current or a driving wind (when mounted on a vehicle) or the wind currents composed of both, so that a sideways shearing movement does not result as before, but a movement exactly opposite to the wind coming from the front, whereby, however, due to partial covering at the front, the yield is initially less than the force of the sideways shearing before. When mounting multiple Magnus rollers on a single drum, we must consider the additional wind generated by the rotation of the
rotating drum (which is cranked by the rollers) in the half facing the oncoming wind. This results in a combined effect of both winds, which must be addressed by adjusting the covers and deflecting guide plates or by further rotating the drum. This is achieved through
automatic control depending on the roller position. Since the rollers on the rear side of the
rotating drum move in the opposite direction, the (rotational) wind there comes from, for example, an
oblique angle above, while on the front half of the drum, with the same oncoming wind, the (rotational) wind comes from an
oblique angle below. Accordingly, the feeds / deflections and opening points must be adjusted, or the rear section, in the second...Half of the roller should be adjusted to face only the oncoming wind. The onshore wind must be blocked on the rear half of the roller by a side shield on each roller. Alternatively, by opening an upper guide plate (if applicable), only a portion of the downward-approaching wind (resulting from the roller's rotation) can be utilized. By utilizing the absorption of
solar heat stored in the
Brownian motion of molecules, which occurs during flows on the laminar half, by means of flow-induced alignment of these molecules not irregularly in all directions, but rising in the direction of flow, a good additional suction is added, which strengthens the resultants of the rolls and thus also accelerates the rotation of the roll.
