torque converter in manual transmission

[psbabu]

I am a mechanical engineering student. as i passed thru the automatic transmission , i came to know abt the torque convertor. will it be possible to fix a torque convertor in a manual transmission vehicle? It can avaoid many driving problems and also improves easiness in drivin. I want to know whether it is economic and efficient??? please reply !!!!

A torque converter delivers smooth control of an automatic gearbox through gears a clutch in a manual box disengages the drive to manually select gears.

First it is "torque converter" not torque convertor.
The idea seems feasible, providing there is some disengage mechanism so you can change gears; you might do some more research - Googleing "torque converter" yields 1.2 million sites among them,
Howstuffworks "How Torque Converters Work"
and

But a torque converter seems a bit heavy; one might consider a centrifugal clutch if one can be made to disengage to change gears. But one thing a manual mechanical clutch has in its favor is that you can disengage at any speed, which to me, is a safety feature in the event there is a throttle hang up. Note there are periodic news reports of cars "going out of control" and taking out pedestrians and or store fronts, etc. I'd bet there has been very few such incidents involving manual transmissions.
