Abstract
In a spoked drive wheel for a hydrodynamic torque converter operating with power splitting, having a spoke for connecting a wheel hub to an external ring of the spoked drive wheel, the spoke cross-section is designed in the shape of a wing profile extending along a profile main axis. The profile main axis is transverse to the axis of rotation of the wheel. In this way, the deterioration in the characteristics of the torque converter is kept as small as possible in both power splitting operation and in operation without power splitting.
