Abstract

The paper presents results of wind tunnel tests of horizontal axis wind  rotors of Magnus type. Firstly, measurements of aerodynamic side (lift) force and aerodynamic drag on rotating cylinder attached to horizontal aerodynamic balance were performed. Secondly, the model of single-blade rotor with counterbalance was tested.
