Scubster Project

Première plongée réussie !

 

 

After the attempt at "crossing the Channel by balloon pedal" in September 2008, the association Endlessflyers and its president Stephane Rousson inform you of their next adventure attend the 11th International Stroke submarine propulsion muscle, which held in June 2011 in the USA in Maryland, in a database of the U.S. Navy.


This academic competition, unknown to Europe (only English and the Netherlands were represented once), brings together some big U.S. universities. The goal: to win one of two competitions, namely the handling of race craft, or the speed.
Currently Canadians are leading in both disciplines.
The association Endlessflyers was surrounded by students and engineers Toulon's aim this 1st participation, to win the race in category "handling", while keeping good hope of correctly classified in class "speed".
The Scubster was born thanks to our experience in propulsion and muscular buoyancy ( "crossing the Channel in a balloon-powered muscle" www.rousson.org) on the one hand, and through participation and involvement Schools Supmeca Toulon, Toulon ISITV. From small local businesses support the project and we as sponsors prestigious Mr Delauze, CEO of Comex, Gerard Feldzer, president of the Museum of Air and Space.
To date, the submarine Scubster is underway and is being studied hydrodynamic, mechanical. The first full-scale tests at sea in the Mediterranean will take place as early as June 2010.


You follow the entire history of the project from conception to completion, and will witness various stages of testing by visiting web www.scubster.org.


In the future, Scubster could be developed for commercial use, for diving clubs and individuals, two-seater, with a muscular or electric propulsion.
 

Technology Objective:
Speed exceeding:  6.21miles
Optimized handling: lower back, right-left, climb-down, taken implications, area navigation.

Interest of submarine pedals:
- Speed above the diver webbed
- Carriage of extra bottles of giving more autonomy underwater.
- Navigation area to reach a place of exploration.

The combination of three elements make Scubster a tool for exploring device for divers and scientists from around Oceanography
