Man versus Machine

The human-powered and student-built submarine WASUB was pitched against top-swimmer Kyle Stolk. Who finishes this 100-metre race first: man or machine?

The WASUB is a human powered submarinethat was designed and built by a team of diverse students. The WASUB is not only built to reach high speeds, but also to be agile. Because of static fins, stability in the water is guaranteed. The big fins ensure the WASUB is able to make sharper turns, and a hull made of carbon makes it light and strong. The WASUB is made by a Dreamteam, as a student project focusing on participating in competitions and improving the design every year.
