This is a redesign of the Rotor Flettner project. The effect works after testing it mounted on a windsurf board but it has a potential flaw: Magnus effect has a smaller force than the wind pulling you to the side. The result is that you go more in the wind direction than in the direction that you really want to go. The equivalent to having a very small sail.

But anyways it was a lot of fun to make it and having already the engine and the structure to mount it I thought, why not to try doing something with it :)

And it works, went about 2 kilometers back and forth after discovering I made some design errors and that friction is not my friend. Engineering lessons learnt:
1.- Control cables of the engine should not be touching the floor
2.- Engine should transmit power using some similar material as the wheel
3.- Friction generates heat and 50% of the battery or more is wasted (maybe good for the winter)
