ABSTRACT:
A fluid coupling comprising a first member secured on a first shaft, a second member secured on a second shaft in axial alignment with said first shaft, and an annular fluid race chamber, one of said members having a vaned annulus within said fluid race chamber and the other said member presenting at least one gate into the fluid race chamber, said gate, or each gate, being arranged to allow the vaned annulus of the vaned member to pass relative thereto while obstructing the circumferential flow of fluid along the race chamber and whereby, when the race chamber is charged with fluid and the assembly is rotated, the fluid flows in the race chamber generate to a pressure gradiant acting circumferentially of the axis of rotation to create a pressure difference across the, or each, gate to impart rotation to the gated member.
