# MagnusPower
Airborne wind energy based on the Magnus effect
## Magnus effect of a rotating cylinder
First, we need to determine the lift and the drag coefficient. This
is done use a polynomial approximation as suggested in [1].
You can plot the result with
```julia
include("src/magnus.jl")
```
## Sizing
Suggested:
- length 2m
- radius 0.2m
--> area 0.8 m²
## Calculate force
- l = 200 m
- v_wind_gnd = 6.0 m/s
2D simulation
## Buoyancy
- volume ~ 0.25 m³
- buoyancy ~ 0.26 kg
- price for helium ~ 0.15 EUR/l
## TODO
- implement calc_force in 2D for dynamic simulation
