Abstract
A torque converter turbine has a plurality of blades integrally molded or cast with a shell or core to form a substantially semi-toroidal structure. Each blade has a rounded leading edge and trailing edge joined by hydrofoil blade surfaces. The flow space between adjacent blades provides the optimum distributed flow area from the leading edge to the trailing edge.
