Abstract

A power transmission device transmits power underwater to a power reception device including a power reception coil. The power transmission device includes: a power transmission coil that transmits power to the power reception coil through a magnetic field; a power transmitter that transmits an alternating current power having a predetermined frequency to the power transmission coil; and a first capacitor that is connected to the power transmission coil and forms a resonance circuit resonating with the power transmission coil. The predetermined frequency is a frequency between a first frequency at which a geometric mean value of a Q value of the power transmission coil and a Q value of the power reception coil are the maximum and a second frequency at which the Q value of the power transmission coil and the Q value of the power reception coil are the same.
