This anisotropicplus video is about how the Magnus Effect causes a deflection in the trajectory of a spinning cylinder or sphere propagating through air. We take it a step further by motorizing a football to demonstrate the effect in our shop. If you want a better understanding of the Magnus Effect we believe this video should be very helpful.
