A method is provided for manufacturing a rotor body (114, Fig 1) of a Magnus-type rotor (108a, Fig 1). The method includes providing a plurality of elements that may be arcuate panels (402, Fig 4), wherein each of the panels may have an arc-length less than a predetermined circumference of the rotor body. The method further includes positioning at least three such elements in mutual edge-wise abutment, which in the case of arcuate panels will form circumferentially a hollow cylindrical loop 404a and 404b, wherein longitudinal edges of adjacent panels are mutually attached to each other. The method may further include co-axially stacking one above another at least two loops of substantially similar diameter. The method further includes connecting edges of adjacent loops to define the rotor body of a predetermined height. |
