ABSTRACT:
A hydrodynamic brake apparatus having multiple stage rotor and stator assemblies housed within a main body. A shaft is journaled to the main body and connected to the rotors, so that power input to the shaft is dissipated by the reaction of the hydraulic fluid contained within the main body. An impeller connected to the shaft forces fluid to flow outwardly to the outer marginal end thereof where the fluid is directed across a stator. From the stator the fluid is forced against the turbine which also is affixed to the shaft in spaced relation respective to the impeller. The turbine forces fluid to flow against a housing stator. The fluid returns through the main body to the impeller, or through a cooler and then back into the main body.
