6 2A - Wednesday, September 9, 2009 The Michigan Daily - michigandailycom In Other Ivory Towers {off the Beaten Path Pedaling power THURSDAY: FRIDAY: Before You Were Here Photos of the Week 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. - SARAH CRAIG 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com GARY GRACA DAN NEWNM Editor inChief easiness Manager 734-647-3336 734-764-0558 graea@michigasdaiycom bugli@michigasdaily.com CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom offie hurs:Sun.-Thrs 11a. - 2a.m,.
