ABSTRACT:
A torque converter that uses the reaction of energy storing devices to mechanically convert a given input angular velocity into an output torque. The torque converter is comprised of an input shaft which delivers an oscillatory motion to an inertia device, such as a flywheel, through connecting rods and lever arms. The inertia device transfers the oscillatory motion to the output shaft through differential gears and overrunning clutches. In the preferred embodiment, two inertia devices mounted on parallel axes with each 90.degree. out of phase provide a smooth, continuous output torque.
