The Human Powered Subma-
rine Team combines Scuba div-
ing, bike riding, engineering and
ateering in its quest to design,
build and race submarines on an
international level.
HPS has taken part intO0 inter-
national races to date, includ-
ing the International Submarine
Race in Bethesda, Md., and the
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers Human Powered Sub-
marine Context in Escondido,
Calif.
In their last international
submarine race, the team set a
University of Michigan record of
SOS5 knots.
During a race, a Scuba diver
encloses him or herself in the
submarine's hull, which, once
submerged, fills with water. The
diver then pedals the submarine
like a bicycle while a group of
Scuba divers monitors the prog-
ress. The submarine with the
fastest time wins.
The' team's primary pilot,
Patrick Trabert, an Engineer-
ing sophomore, said the thrill of
speed in the submarine makes
the competitions exciting, but
that the ability to focus under-
water trumps all.
"The best part of competing-is
getting inside the submarine and
being in a completely quiet envi-
ronment," he said.
Project Manager Stephen Cur-
tin, an Engineering sophomore,
said the team hopes that a new
hull it plans to build this year
will help them break the school
record again and to beat rival
Texas A&M at the 2011 ISR.
"We're trying to get it most-
ly built so we can test it and be
great when the competition rolls
around," he said.
Members of HPS say they ben-
efit greatly from their involve-
ment with this intellectually and
creatively stimulating endeavor.
"I joined the team because it
was a small team and it provided
a unique challenge to be design-
ing for something underwater,"
Curtis said. "It pushes you to be
creative and challenge yourself a
little."
Curtis said that the club offers
its members many benefits,
especially in the field of marine
engineering. Pour former team
members are now employed by
the Maryland naval base where
submarine races are held, he
said.
