Default how torque converters work?

ok, I read wikipedia and on howstuffworks.com to find out the inner workings of a tc. Very informative and well explained. I still can't quite visually get a hold of the changes in direction of fluid flow. Does anyone have any links with the fluid actually moving through maybe a model of a torque converter?
http://www.howstuffworks.com/engine.htm. This site has a moving model of the internal combustion engine. I'm looking for something like this, only showing fluid flow through the tc. Thanks!

Thanks for the help, but I kinda got that from the reading I did. Looking for a bit more.
