ABSTRACT:
An ocean current power generation system includes a support placed on or in a state spaced apart from the ocean surface so that it is not rotated by an ocean current, a ring-like rotating member horizontally suported by the support for rotation about an axis, a plurality of ocean current-receiving members coupled in a hanging fashion to the ring-like rotating member for receiving the ocean current and rotating the ring-like rotating member at all times in a fixed direction corresponding to a direction of the ocean current, a drive gear provided on the ring-like rotating member for rotating in a concentric relation to the ring-like rotating member, a rotation accelerating gear train provided inside the support for receiving the rotation of the drive gear to accelerate its rotation, and a power generator provided inside the support and connected to the rotation accelerating gear train for receiving the accelerated rotation of the rotation accelerating gear train.
