Abstract: A turbine for extracting power from a flowing fluid comprises a blade for interaction with the fluid, the blade being rotatable both about a primary axis and a blade axis. The blade axis is proximate to the blade, substantially parallel to the primary axis and spaced therefrom. Rotation actuating means is provided to rotate the blade about the blade axis in dependence upon the rotation of the blade about the primary axis such that the rotation angle of the blade about the blade axis is a function of the rotation angle of the blade about the primary axis. The rotation of the blade about the blade axis is in the same direction of rotation as the blade axis about the primary axis.
