ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an apparatus and method for capturing a hydrodynamic film between two working surfaces whereby the hydrodynamic film separates the two working surfaces while transmitting mechanical energy between the two thereby greatly reducing wear while dissipating thermal energy produced from the transfer of mechanical energy.
