Apparently this is a turbo sail and not the same as the Flettner rotor. The Wikipedia article you linked to mentions the same. Ones powered by electricity and one by air? Both seem to take advantage of the Magnus effect though

It’s not a turbosail. Turbo sails don’t rotate..

Ah, looks like you're right! I got confused by its mention in the article.
