Flettner rotorcar blown with fan.
2C20.80 • C+25+0
Flettner rotor car. Flettner Rotor Car with spinning vertical cylindrical rotor. Pulling on string sets rotor to spinning Wind Cylinder of rotor car is set to spinning. Air hose nozzle produces wind at right angles to car. Car goes forward. Rotor spun in the opposite direction will produce opposite motion. Photo of original rotorship is available.
