RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] New World-Record Speed Set At International Human-powered Su



Alec,

I will look forward to seeing your images, particularly the marinized "Ornithopter" facsimile;.... "Bogus Batoid". Anyone taking that concept, and giving it that name,.... is someone I would like to meet!

Omer 5 has a removable memory stick that the pilot plugs in. It has his
individual preferences such as variable pitch settings and parameters
governing the control surfaces. It also saves all sorts of parameters
during the race for analysis on a poolside laptop. This way they make
adjustments between runs. I saw data for a run and the interesting thing
is that at the end of the 100m they were still accelerating.

The two crewmembers also have panels that give them real time feedback
on a number of parameters using simple led arrays.

The sub is all fly-by-wire, with little servos moving the control
surfaces.



Alec

Jay, Pic came through fine, as did Joe's link of the current crop. Cool
stuff. I used to have a neighbor up here in PSL who was the ENGINE for
FAU's sub for a couple of seasons. Can't remember his name, but that boy
had some pins on him, let me tell you. And some lungs, no doubt. Vance

Vance,
Yes it is exciting.  The Omer Team has dominated recent races and will
be very hard to beat.  I assisted with the first races in California
held in a tow tank...water was extremely cold with visibility not being
great but did get a chance to help set a world's record speed with my
alma mater's team from FAU.  There is a lot of camaraderie among teams
at the races but teams are really serious as you note.  Here is the only
image that I have from the races, not sure if it will make it through
the web server:

A skimmer afloat is but a submarine, so poorly built it will not plunge.

Jay, Exciting stuff. I used to do some beach work when Perry hosted this
thing, and that was fun. But these folks seem REALLY serious by
comparison, don't they? I'm looking forward to pictures of the new stuff
from Canada. Vance
