Talk:Torque converter

message: Wdl1961, this edit appears to have been an error on your part. Torque converter lockup — when the lockup clutch is applied, not when it is released — occurs under the stated conditions of steady-speed cruise without substantial torque multiplication. If your edit was intentional, please provide solid support for your assertion, which appears to contradict every reliable text on the subject. Thanks. —Scheinwerfermann T·C22:06, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I have not read through the actual version of the article, but skimmed over the last discussion archive and looked in the commons category.
I would appreciate some color coded / iso-line maps, where the x and y axis are input and output RPM respectively and the color denotes the efficiency.
It is important that negative RPMs are included.
In further maps input torque, output torque, torque multiplication could be plotted.
I think such a map would allow people who use torque converters to do so efficiently and the world would be a better place.
Also the text about torque converters seem to be a problem and images are even more important therfore. -- Arnero (talk) 13:03, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

message: "As with a basic fluid coupling the theoretical torque capacity of a converter is proportional tor\,N^2D^5, where r is sity of the fluid, N is the impeller speed  (rpm), and D is the diameter."
obviously wrong  r\,N^2D^5,r\,N^5D^2is correct
see fluid coupling also .try basic eng handbooks.Wdl1961 (talk) 00:21, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No. Not "obviously wrong" and the WP:RS handbook ref I've just added agreed with ω^2 D^5, as it read before, and as I understand it to be. If you can show that it's "obviously wrong", then please do so. If you have a reliable ref that supports your claim, then please do so. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:40, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

text: I've just checked (and fixed) Fluid coupling to N^2D^5. That only claimed N^5D^2 (incorrectly) because you changed it last January. Please stop introducing errors into Wikipedia like this. You have a track record for this sort of error, incorrect and unsupported by references. Please stop. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:46, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Some people use impeller and pump interchangeably  in the context of torque converters.  This article describes the impeller, and later switches to calling it the pump, without any explanation of the term.  An easy solution would be to change the first occurrence of 'impeller' to also refer to 'pump', with either a non-essential clause, such as "...the impeller, also known as the pump, which is..."; or a parenthetical clause, such as "...the impeller (also known as the pump), which is..."
