@sebashoning If you Wiki Magnus effect or Rotor Ship, you'll see that this a windmill. The part that we see the gentleman fiddling with is the governor for regulating its speed. It's difficult to tell from the video, but the 3 large cyliners are rotating about their long axes.

@captaincaustic I already thought it was a windmill, just didn't recognize the type of windmill. Thanks!

I once saw a book on the 54-40 or Fight called "Thrust and Counterthrust The Genesis of the Canada-United States Boundary." It made me laugh.
