Turbo-transmissions are hydrodynamic, multi-stage drive assemblies whose performance is based on the Föttinger principle of fluid dynamics. Torque-converters, fluid couplings and optional hydrodynamic retarders are the key components in these assemblies, which are ideally suited for powered rail vehicles.

Famous quotes containing the word principle:
“Whether our feet are compressed in iron shoes, our faces hidden with veils and masks; whether yoked with cows to draw the plow through its furrows, or classed with idiots, lunatics and criminals in the laws and constitutions of the State, the principle is the same; for the humiliations of the spirit are as real as the visible badges of servitude.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“To light one candle to God and another to the Devil is the principle of wisdom.”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)
“Thou art blind to the danger of marrying a woman who feels and acts out the principle of equal rights.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
