Magnus Effect
From the discussion on the circulation theory of lift it should be apparent that any rotating object placed in a moving air stream will produce circulation and hence aerodynamic lift.
MAGNUS EFFECT - The effect on a spinning cylinder or sphere moving through a fluid, in which force acts perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the direction of spin.
Magnus effect rotating kites that have the rotation axis bluntly normal to the stream direction use autorotation; a net lift is possible that lifts the kite and payload to altitude.
