Incredible, No slip. But how is it connected? It obviously has to be connected so it wont bend right...DUH?

Thanks for putting it up...learned a lot..videos always beat paragraphs..

Btw: This is what all automatic trannies use right?

Hello HYPHYDUM408,

depending on the fluid coupling type the coupling shafts are i.e. connected to the motor and gearbox simply by flexible connecting couplings.

Further there is a small slip between the pump wheel and turbine wheel - otherwiese there wouldn't be a powertransmission between primary and secondary wheel.

By the way, on the Voith Turbo website you can order a CD-ROM with much more information and animations on fill-controlled fluid couplings.

WTF?

@bass109  Should I look busy?

@bass109 my dad and family just died. when was he coming again? I guess they were not good enough people to see this.

How is the fluid prevented from leaking out of the system between the two wheels?

Jesus is coming soon! repent and prepare for the lord

@marek0086 exactly. You can have 100% slip for short time when the driven is blocked. The coupling is protecting the drive line.

"Torque converter" = "fluid coupling"

[marek0086]

he said the SLIP can reach 100% !

There's obviously going to be eventual wear as the blades are still experiencing some reciprocal force, but it's going to be greatly alleviated because of the elasticity of the fluid.
