If we want to curve a bullet in flight, we really only have two options: centripetal force and the Magnus effect. Bending a Bullet with Centripetal Force.

The Magnus effect is an interesting thing, where fluid flowing over a rotating object generates an aerodynamic force at a right angle to the direction of the flow and the axis of rotation. (It’s ...

How SMOOTHNESS of a SOCCER BALL affects curve. Season 1 Episode 25 | 5m 44s Video has Closed Captions | CC. Curving and bending a ball using the magnus effect is common in every sport.

The Magnus effect explains how spin causes a tennis ball to curve in flight. Topspin, achieved by brushing the racquet upwards, creates a downward force, allowing players to hit with high speed ...

James Whomsley of ProjectAir built a Magnus effect-inspired R/C plane, possibly the world’s largest of its kind. Unlike typical R/C planes with fixed wings, this design relies entirely on the ...

Deda says that this rifling generates a downward force when the hub is turning, via a physical phenomenon called the Magnus effect, which it claims increases stability at high speeds.

In the first episode of The Magnus Effect podcast, which was released July 20, Carlsen put the chess world’s will-he, won’t-he to rest and confirms to cohost, friend, and fellow Magnus, Magnus ...

In physics, the “Magnus effect,” studied by the German scientist Heinrich Gustav Magnus, describes a phenomenon explaining how lift force acts on a spinning object, causing a deflection that is absent ...

Magnus Carlsen, the reigning world chess champion, has announced he will not defend his title next year because he is just “not motivated to play another match” at the World Chess Championship.
