A floating turbine construction which provides within a suitable framework, a plurality of linkage systems with each system flexibly connected with a series of floats partly immersed in a body of water having a current and wherein the linkage system is connected with a power transmission unit which consists of a series of sun gears, a series of planetary gears upon the sun gears interconnected with the linkage assembly and with corresponding interplanetary gears interconnecting the series of planetary gears upon the sun gear in such a manner that upward buoyant forces of the floats transmitted through the individual linkage assemblies progressively and successively cause a torque action in the gear system to thus provide torque which may be used for a useful purpose.
