Fluid Coupling
|
Construction elements - Impellor
turbine blade and stator
|
Construction elements- impeller and
turbine blade
|
Stator and turbine use the curved blades
|
Straight blades are used
|
Torque multiplication possible
|
Torque multiplication not possible

Returning oil aid the
movement of impellor
|
Returning oil oppose the direction of
impeller, and it cause energy loss as heat
