Abstract
A turbine rotor assembly for extracting energy from an oscillating working fluid. The turbine rotor assembly includes a hub rotatable about a central axis. A plurality of blades is mounted to the hub about the central axis. Each blade has a leading edge and a trailing edge which are configured to be complementary in profile to each other such that the blades can be mounted in close fitting edge-to-edge proximity to each other.

A turbine rotor assembly for extracting energy from an oscillating working fluid, the turbine rotor assembly including:
- a hub rotatable about a central axis;
- a plurality of blades mountable to the hub about the central axis, each blade having a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein the leading edge and trailing edge are configured to be complementary in profile to each other such that the blades can be mounted in close fitting edge-to-edge proximity to each other.
A turbine rotor assembly according to claim 13, wherein the actuator is responsive to changes in the properties of the prevailing working fluid within the flow passage.
