A torque converter includes a rotor and a cam follower. The rotor has an eccentric profile defining a power output phase and a reset phase. The rotor includes a magnetic rotor portion, and the cam follower includes a magnetic follower portion attracted to the magnetic rotor portion for biasing the cam follower towards the rotor. The cam follower is configured to reciprocate in response to rotation of the rotor through the power output phase and the reset phase. The torque converter also includes an output mechanism that is selectively engaged with the cam follower during the power output phase and disengaged from the cam follower during the reset phase. |
