56 is the turbine facing side 54 the stator 10 is constructed as one piece a shown in the figures the stator 10 has eighteen blades 40 42 with nine long blades 40 and nine short blades 42 the blades 40 42 alternate between long blade 40 and short blade 42 it is to be understood that any number of short and long blades 40 42 may be used the long and short blades 40 42 cooperate to redirect oil when there is a large speed ratio between the impeller and turbine as the speed ratio between the impeller and turbine approaches 1 1 the windows that are created by having a short vane 42 permit better coupling of the impeller 24 and the turbine 16 such that oil flows better in operation the stator 10 serves to change the direction of flow of oil as the speed ratio approaches 1 1 where the impeller 24 and turbine 16 are rotated at substantially the same speed the direction of flow of the oil into the stator 10 is changed and causes a reverse affect as oil strikes a back side of the blades 40 42 in this case therefore the stator 10 is brought into an idling condition by means of a one way.
