Is there such a thing as a torque clutch? Is it some other type of clutch? (I don't think it's a coupling)

Torque converter
A torque converter is a modified form of fluid coupling that is used to transfer rotating power from a prime mover, such as an internal combustion engine or electric motor, to a rotating driven load. Like a basic fluid coupling, the torque converter normally takes the place of a mechanical clutch, allowing the load to be separated from the power source. As a more advanced form of fluid coupling, however, a torque converter is able to multiply torque when there is a substantial difference between input and output rotational speed, thus providing the equivalent of a reduction gear.

Example sentence:
In a torque converter there are at least three rotating elements: the pump, which is mechanically driven by the prime mover; the turbine, which drives the load; and the stator, which is interposed between the pump and turbine so that it can alter oil flow
...cars with an automatic transmission have no clutch that disconnects the transmission from the engine. Instead, they use an amazing device called a torque converter....
