Abstract
Improvements in a turbo transmission are provided for transferring power from a power source to a work unit. The transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a power source and to a pump that is configured to rotate with the input shaft. The pump transfers energy received from the power source into a fluid or gas. The transmission includes an output shaft and a multi-stage turbine in line. The first turbine is fixed to output shaft, and a plurality of additional turbines are fixed on either one-way overrunning clutches or multi-disc clutches and these clutches are fixed to the output shaft and after each turbine is a multi-valves that discharges the fluid or gas. After all of the multi-stage turbines a planetary gear set connects the turbo transmission to the vehicle or work unit.
Claims18
A transmission apparatus configured to transmit energy from a power source to work unite the transmission apparatus comprising:
- an outer housing defining an interior region containing a fluid;
- an input shaft being coupled to a power source to receive energy there from;
- said input shaft being couple to a pump to transfer energy from said power source into the fluid and then to a multi-stage turbine;
- a first turbine positioned in front of said pump and is fixed to an output shaft;
- at least a second turbine located in series after said first turbine rotationally secured to said output shaft with a one-way overrunning clutch or multiple-disc clutch;
- a plurality of valves located after each turbine that are opened to discharge fluid or gas after each turbine or closed to allow flow to said second or subsequent turbine(s) wherein;
- said one-way overrunning clutch or said multiple-disc clutch will be locked in the same direction of said first turbine and will be free to rotate in an opposing direction without appreciable drag on said output shaft, and
- said turbines will transfer power when the differential pressure before and after said turbines is sufficient to turn said turbines and lock said one-way overrunning clutch or multi-disc clutch and to transfer power to said output shaft.
