Editing Stator (section)

==Fluid devices==
In a [[turbine]], the stator element contains blades or ports used to redirect the flow of fluid.  Such devices include the [[steam turbine]] and the [[torque converter]]. In a mechanical siren, the stator contains one or more rows of holes that admit air into the rotor; by controlling the flow of air through the holes, the sound of the siren can be altered. A stator can reduce the turbulence and rotational energy introduced by an axial turbine fan, creating a steady column of air with a lower [[Reynolds number]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://airiusfans.com/company/destratification/|title=Destratification Fans by Airius|access-date=2017-04-19|language=en-US|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170420143501/http://airiusfans.com/company/destratification/|archive-date=2017-04-20}}</ref>
