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
