The Magnus effect in action. Named after Heinrich Gustav Magnus, this phenomenon is observable in a spinning object. As a ball moves through the air, its spin is moving against the flow of air on one side, towards the air on the other. So, the object drags air faster around one side, creating a difference in pressure that moves THE OBJECT in the direction of the lower-pressure side.

He is still crate resting peacefully and enjoying the outside when he is able to go for a short walk. We figured we would let him smell the neighbor’s roses, instead he felt the rose was an edible treat. What a silly boy . It’s a #laboroflove | Labor of Love Transport Rescue | Facebook
