Zusammenfassung:An arrangement is described includes a pressurised gas system and a cyclorotor located within an annular structure. The cyclorotor can be a propulsor for a marine vessel and includes a rotary housing spaced apart from the structure by an annular volume, and a plurality of blades extending from a surface of the rotary housing, each blade having a respective blade axis about which it can be pivoted relative to the rotary housing. The pressurised gas system includes a pressurised gas supply, one or more gas outlets in fluid communication with the annular volume, and a gas supply unit with a controller adapted to control the delivery of pressurised gas from the pressurised gas supply into the annular volume through the one or more gas outlets.
