The specification discloses a fluid coupling (10) for connecting rotatable shafts (38, 42). In one embodiment, rotation of an output shaft (38) is transferred to a drive shaft (42) by a pair of opposed rotatable rings (14, 16) having interleaved fins (98, 100, 102, 104; 134, 136, 138, 140, 142). The interleaved fins (98, 100, 102, 104; 134, 136, 138, 140, 142) provide fluid filled chambers (200, 202, 204) and relative movement of the fins (98, 100, 102, 104; 134, 136, 138, 140, 142) compresses the fluid and increases the ability of the fluid to transfer torque. |
