    摘要: The fluid coupling of the present disclosure transmits torque by a fluid in a variable speed transmission. The fluid coupling comprises a front cover and a back cover, and the front cover and the back cover forming a chamber. The fluid coupling includes a plurality of impeller vanes are located on the back cover and the back cover is configured to rotate in a first direction. The fluid coupling also includes a turbine having a plurality of turbine vanes located within the chamber. The ends of each of the plurality of impeller vanes are curved in the first direction to direct flow of the fluid into the plurality of turbine vanes at a sharper angle thereby increasing torque applied to the turbine.
