Rotor sails reducing
the environmental impact of shipping
Norsepower Rotor Sails are a new solution to the growing
need for more sustainable shipping. These rotor sails do not
share any similarities with traditional sails you might find
on a yacht. Instead, they are a modernised version of the
Flettner rotor, which takes advantage of the Magnus effect
to generate aerodynamic force and assist in propelling the
vessel forward.
A
Flettner rotor is a smooth
cylinder with disc end
plates that is spun around
on its long axis. It works to generate aerodynamic force through
the effect of the wind. As the
wind meets the rotor, the airflow accelerates on one side of
the rotor sail and decelerates on
the opposite side. This change in
the speed of airflow creates the
Magnus effect, which results in a
pressure difference. This difference, in turn, creates a lift force
perpendicular to the wind flow

direction, helping to propel the
vessel and increasing its fuel efficiency.
Taking advantage
of the Magnus effect
The Magnus effect can be seen in
many sports. In tennis, for example, topspin rotates the ball forward causing it to swerve downward. Conversely, a slice with
backspin causes the ball to lift.
Norsepower's use of the Magnus
effect, however, has much more
significance as its goal is to re-

Lightweight composites
reviving the Flettner rotor
The idea of a Flettner rotor on a
ship is not new, and was first trialled in 1924. The concept was
proven viable but back then, it
took an inefficient amount of energy to turn the 15m-tall metal
cylinders and it was largely discontinued.
Today, thanks to the much lower weight of the cylinders due
to cutting-edge advanced composite materials and technology,
Norsepower has revisited this
concept, proving successful in
reducing fuel costs by 5-20% and
CO2 emissions by the same.
The rotor was produced using
Gurit's environmentally-friendly structural PET core, Kerydn™
Green, which is produced using up to 100% recycled materials, as well as the PRIME™
27 epoxy infusion system, the
Spabond™ 340LV adhesive, and
the Ampreg™ 31 epoxy laminating system.
