ABSTRACT:
An input compounding torque converter is provided for converting and multiplying torque from a prime mover to an input shaft of a transmission. The input compounding torque converter includes an impeller operatively connected for rotation with a prime mover and a turbine fluidly connected in driving relationship with the impeller for receiving torque from the impeller. The input compounding torque converter also includes a bidirectional planetary gearset and brake interconnecting the turbine and an input shaft of a transmission for multiplying torque from the turbine to the input shaft regardless of the power flow direction.
