This inventer molds the contours of the Magnus cylinder with shape changing surfaces. These small. Moving parts permit the Magnus cylinder to react like variable pitch propellers. A skin coated with piezo chips would allow shape shifting capability.
.
Thanks to Peter we can conceive of a ring composed of shape shifting piezo electric material. A piezo strip would greatly increase the wind generation output of the cycloidal wing. A roller motion would increase the lift like the fabric job. We can program piezo arrays to "Screw" around the ring!

[synchro1]

3 piezo elements under a stretching fabric would be enough to control the ring. A dozen or more perhaps could be programed to produce a spiraling effect on the surface of an elastic wing?

Elon Musk could cover his rocket with a piezo ceramic heat shield material that could generate lift with a spiraling Magnus wing program!

The composites operate at 1000 degrees centigrade. Rentry heat can be double that so it would need to cool down before it would work on the way back down. It would help generate lift on launch.


Baked over a mesh of electrodes the ceramic composite would generate power from the heat of rentry.

You are too fast,synchro1 !
Each evolutive/innovative step has to be researched : efficiency in-/decrease !
Universal use or only appropriate for land/sea/air/submarin use !?

Are there publicated experiments,studies,working prototipes ?

Not only 1 tube/cylinder but two beside ,advantage ?
What do we know about Anton Flettners applied one/two cylinders experiment results ?


I think and decide with thousands of inventor mosaics/scientifical prototips knowledge in mind and concern

And when I am interested in good ideas so I try to come in contact with the idea-holder ,so also with Peter Ferger,phone-conversation about the idea/material/-deliverer/-producer and prices ,between years  2000 -2005
I do not see any barrier to not to do good conversations foor fruitable results for both sides !
Only one time in my life I got stopped : when by a phone-call,in the interest to speak with Dr.Wolfgang Volkrodt(very productive engineer and patent holder,Ex-Siemens) ,I only got his widow on call and she after some minutes
gave me the advice to come in contact with a friend from Dr.Volkrodt :

living in Kiel,his Name : v.Klitzing 
I am really ashamed,to knock on the door from a Physics-Nobel-Prize award-holder !

Before I converse with individuals I do my theme-related homework and for Nobel-award level I would have to do
more !

For wind force conversion modification ?

[synchro1]

One can see from this article that a piezo matrix works well as a wing shaper material : The idea would be to program the piezo matrix to roll spirals around the cylinder.

[synchro1]

This may have real value at this point. Picture hexagonal heat shield ceramic tiles mounted on simple piezo benders.
Intelligent control can orchestrate a spiral lift pattern by flapping them in programed sequence. Musk could remove the fins and control the rocket with the tiny gimbaled heat shield fins. The piezo actuators can withstand the high heat behind the shield.
