[edit] Energy loss
This page should have some discussion or reference to the amount of energy lost in a viscous coupling unit. --Nil0lab 17:23, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Power transfer through the silicone fluid?
According to Popular Mechanics and HowStuffWorks the silicone fluid becomes more viscous (thicker) when heated and that is what provides the power transfer accross the coupling, not friction directly between the plates. Which mechanism is correct? GrodenGlaive 14:26, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
