Drive device

A drive device comprising:

• a fluid coupling including an impeller and a turbine, the fluid coupling configured such that a torque is inputted thereto from a first side in an axial direction and is outputted therefrom to a second side in the axial direction;
• and
• a rotary electrical machine including a first stator and a rotor, the first stator disposed in a non-rotatable manner, the rotor disposed to be rotated about a rotational axis of the fluid coupling,
• the first stator including a first stator core, a first coil end, and a second coil end, the first coil end protruding from the first stator core in the axial direction, the second coil end protruding from the first stator core to an opposite side of the first coil end in the axial direction, and
• the first coil end being bent radially outward so as to be located in part radially outside an outer peripheral surface of the first stator core,
• the drive device further comprising an angle sensor disposed radially inside a center of a torus of the fluid coupling, the angle sensor disposed to overlap the torus in a radial view.
