SOLUTION Introduce a STATOR
Phases of operationPhase I - Torque
Multiplication Phase:
Low Impeller Speed Stator is locked into
place by its one-way clutch
Vortex fluid flow within the converter
Phase II - Coupling Phase:
No torque multiplicationStator is freewheelingRotary flow within the
converter
ApplicationsAutomatic Transmission Systems in
automobilesIndustrial Power TransmissionDrag Racing Cars(eg. Dodge Charger)
limitations• Cannot be applied to Manual Transmission• Expensive Assembly
