The '''Magnus effect''' is an observable [[phenomenon]] commonly associated with a spinning [[Object (philosophy)|object]] moving through a [[fluid]]. The path of the spinning object is deflected in a manner not present when the object is not spinning. The deflection can be explained by the difference in pressure of the fluid on opposite sides of the spinning object. The Magnus effect is dependent on the speed of rotation.
