Systems, apparatus, and methods may control movement of an object through a fluid. The systems, apparatus, and methods may utilize a rotatable control unit including a pair of fins to generate a control force at least partially perpendicular to a direction of travel of the object through the fluid. One fin may be configured to generate a different amount of rolling moment than the other fin to provide rotational acceleration and energy production.
