Golf's hooks and slices? Baseball's curve ball? Bending free-kicks? The latest in yacht roll stabilization? Heinrich Gustav Magnus (1802–1870), German chemist and physicist, links them all together – and Quantum, famous for world class innovation, combines this bedrock principle with the latest hydraulic and electronic innovations creating rotary roll stabilizer systems for the modern yacht.
The Magnus Effect:
The force perpendicular to the forward motion on a spinning object moving through a fluid or gas: in example, the force responsible for the curve on a curve ball.
A rotating sphere or cylinder generates lift. The same lift that guides your golf ball in that beautiful, soft fade from the left side of the fairway to its gentle landing a couple of feet from the pin will counteract the rolling motion of a yacht- underway, or at rest.
MAGLIFT™: hydraulically actuated retractable rotating cylinders controlled by
Quantums' amazingly sophisticated ARC3000 series electronic roll controllers.
Need stability at low speeds for helicopter or RIB deployment? How about no-drag stabilizers for the run to the fishing grounds that turn into low-drag stabilizers quietly performing to their potential at trolling speeds? Quantum, world leader in yacht roll control technology, famous for yacht hydraulic equipment featuring the fit and finish the most demanding yacht builders and owners expect on top of performance and service that they can count on around the world, introduces MAGLIFT™, revolutionary rotary roll stabilizers, now available from Quantum.
