Torque Converter: Description and Operation
Stator, Alternator
The convertor also has a smaller vaned section, called a stator, that funnels the oil back to the converter pump through smaller openings, at increased
speed. The speeded up oil directs additional force to the engine driven converter pump, thereby multiplying engine torque. Without the stator, the torque
converter would only provide a fluid coupling.
