This richly illustrated book tells the story of Hermann Föttinger and his idea of hydrodynamic power transmission. Coverage follows the trail of technical milestones from the industrial introduction of the idea to its further developments by Voith marking the progress of hydrodynamic power transmission. The book illustrates the vast field of industrial applications in control and start-up processes and gives an account of the development of transmissions and retarders for buses coaches and trucks. This retrospective from early experiments to today s successes is followed by a brief overview of the prospects of hydrodynamic drive systems in the near future. The text is accessible for the general interest reader. All will find it encouraging to read about the inventor Föttinger his brilliant idea and the enormous impact it had on the development of industry with Voith.
