ABSTRACT:
An input compounding torque converter is provided for converting and multiplying torque from a prime mover to an input shaft for a transmission. The input compounding torque converter includes an impeller operatively connected for rotation with a prime mover. The input compounding torque converter also includes a turbine fluidly connected in driving relationship with the impeller for receiving torque from the impeller and planetary gearset interconnecting the turbine and an input shaft of a transmission for multiplying torque from the turbine to the input shaft. The planetary gearset includes an annulus gear connected to the turbine, a planetary carrier connected to the input shaft, a sun gear, and a plurality of planetary pinion gears rotatably supported on the planetary carrier and engaging the sun and annulus gears. The input compounding torque converter also includes first and second one way clutches which are radially spaced with respect to one another and including a stationary reaction member having an intermediate portion disposed between the radially spaced first and second one way clutches.
