Great video. Only two missing parts. The lockup clutch which stops any heat build up or power loss and the stator which is another set of vanes that improve efficiency.
Amazing how this almost 60 year old Army video too, explained the principals of a fluid coupling, that I was still confused about. A torque convertor is almost the same thing, just more aggressive blade angles & fluid direction change. I wonder what Army post this is with it's long gone World War 2 look ?
One of the best explanations yet, although I am still fuzzy though about how the hermetic leak-proof sealing is materially made and how the cooling/reservoir in and out points work and how they are actually constructed on the spinning shafts on either ends of the torque converter.
Great ......wonderful,I had confusion for 3 months about fluid coupling but now everything has been cleared by your video.......thanks.....thanks.....thanks..
this video explained it really well, today's explanations about things are so complicated, and unprofessional, gotta love the 50's USA military xD

These US Army principles of operation videos are great. Who ever made these deserves a medal.

@braschlosan those became later this is from 1954, lock up appeared in the late 70s

Fluid coupling well explained.
I have uploaded some technical videos in my channel "techtrixinfo", torque converter (fluid coupling) theory and practical explained in it.

As old ad that video is, it was a perfect explanation.
Thanks for sharing the video.

I still prefer my higher-wear clutch, but great explanation of the torque converter!

DoD knew what they were doing. Seems to me that you could take these vidoes straight into a classroom today. Thanks DoD!

This is amazing. A video from 1954 was the first thing to actually in an accurate way explain a torque converter to me. Thumbs up!
