Angled torque transmission system and method

A method for transmitting torque from a prime mover to an output device along a drivetrain, the method comprising:

• selectively engaging a clutch device to selectively transmit torque from the prime mover to a belt;
• rotating an intermediate pulley with the belt;
• rotating a driveshaft with torque from the intermediate pulley;
• redirecting torque from the driveshaft to a different spatial orientation via an angle gearbox;
• and
• rotating the output device with a torque output from the angle gearbox.

A cooling system comprising:

• an internal combustion engine;
• a first belt configured to transmit torque from the internal combustion engine;
• a drivetrain, the drivetrain comprising:
• a clutch device configured to accept a torque input from the first belt;
• an intermediate pulley;
• a second belt operatively engaged between the clutch device and the intermediate pulley;
• an angle gearbox configured to change a spatial orientation of torque transmitted between an input and an output of the angle gearbox;
• and
• a driveshaft operably engaged between the intermediate pulley and the angle gearbox,
• wherein the clutch device is located upstream from the intermediate pulley and the angle gearbox along the drivetrain;
• and
• a fan configured to accept a torque output from the drivetrain.
