1. Lift is not caused by the Bernoulli Effect.
2. Lift is a result of Vorticity.
3. The Coanda Effect does not occur on wings unless applied.
4. When applied, the Coanda Effect can increase lift by a factor of 3.
5. The Coanda Effect can increase efficiency of wind turbines and electricity
production.
6. The myth of Bernoulli Effect causing lift must be eliminated before decision
makers can make real progress in many important areas.
7. It is time to abandon the “simplifying notions” that prevent full understanding.
