TORQUE CONVERTERS | How they Work
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Torque converters use a simple idea to solve a complicated problem. This Science Garage goes over how a torque converter keeps your car from stalling, and how it can actually increase the torque coming from your engine.
We also look at the unique system in the Koenigsegg Regera- that uses a transmissionless direct drive torque converter variation to get over 250 MPH!
Bart teaches us how cars work by blowing stuff up and cutting things in half. It’s a science show for the car lover who’s easily bored. Join Bart as he explains the science behind everything automotive. This is cars down to the atom. This is Science Garage.
Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

It’s not that complicated. It’s just a fabric that is pressed together and hardened with a resin. Boom. There’s your episode.
I already knew how TC's work, but I watched anyways because you guys are great. Very clever (if a little flashy) to use two fans. Cool way to make the principle visible.
2 fans, weird flex but ok
That was FAN-tastic.
Gotta say, the fan demo was very simple, creative and easily explains how these work. I love how you guys make what seems to be really complicated stuff easy to understand. Best channel about automotive stuff on YT hands down. You deserve that 1mil subscribers.

Very informative video. Thanks! Here are my notes I've compiled, please correct me if I am wrong: Torque Converter: Only found in Automatic Transmissions. Not found in manual. Transfers power from the engine to the transmission. Consists of a lock-up clutch assembly, impeller (pump), stator (reactor), and turbine. Having the reactor in between the impeller (pump) and turbine makes it a torque converter. The impeller (pump), strator (reactor), and turbine all have fan blades, which have transmission fluid running through them spinning with Centrifugal force. The impeller (pump) moving in circles flows the transmission fluid through the strator (reactor) to the turbine to make it spin too. Without the strator (reactor), the impeller (pump) and turbine will not spin at optimal levels, but rather slow. The impeller (pump) helps the turbine spin as the transmission fluid flows. The stator (reactor) helps the transmission fluid flow from the turbine back to the imepller (pump) efficiently. The stator helps increase torque big time by making the transmission fluid shoot at an angle speeding the flow speed up, just like putting one's thumb over water flowing from a hose. This is viscous force. The stator has a one-way clutch, making the the torque converter only spin when the car is moving. To help the turbine spin faster, modern Torque Converters connect to a Lock-up Clutch, which is a shell-like component. The Lock-up Clutch sits over the turbine and connects to the impeller (pump). This allows for the turbine and pump to spin at the same speeds. The Lock-Up Clutch only kicks in after every gear has occurred, and is equivalent to driving at 5-speed in a manual vehicle. The torque converter connects between the motor and the transmission. The impeller (pump) sits near to the motor and the turbine splines to the front of the transmission onto the input shaft, which transfers power from the motor to the transmission. Rotation from the engine transfers to the transmission via the turbine sitting on a central shaft. A man made an amazing new design of the torque converter.
Thank you so much I'm studying for my drivetrain A.S.E. and this video helped put a visual breakdown of torque converters in perfect perspective thanks 1,000,000!!!!
I have to watch almost all his videos 2-3 times to get everything, this show is free college! Thank you for the info
When he stopped the fan I got an ad and it was lil Jon saying “WHAAAT”
Loved the 2 seconds of final “fan”tasy zanarkand theme:)
This video explained torque converters to me better than any other video I have watched in years. I finally get it.
Thanks for the video! Big fan!
In every episode of How They Work, you manage in a few minutes to be more informative, clear and intuitive than most teachers can in hours. Somehow, not only are your videos always packed with so much content, but most importantly you pass along that content really effectively. You're really "efficient", and that's very impressive! And that trick with the fans was outstanding, and yet so simple; it really made me understand the fluid coupling thing, especially how the impeller can rotate even when the turbine is braked. Thanks a lot.
I wish I could afford two fans :(
