A water current power plant (10) for placement under water is described, comprising several sails or wings (12) that are fastened to a rotary endless chain (14) running between opposite facing, respective turning discs (24), with the endless chain (14) being forced round by thrust of the wings (12) under the influence of the surrounding water, and, at least, one generator (60) for the generation of electric energy that is connected with the endless chain (14). The turning discs (24) are mounted in respective frames (16, 18) that can be anchored, and the endless chain (14) runs freely between the frames (16, 18) and round the turning discs (24) and a drive gear (28) is connected to, at least, one of the turning discs and is connected to a universal coupling (50), with said generator (60) being connected to the universal coupling (50). |
