This year’s gearbox is a redesign of our existing gearbox, with improved robustness and reduced size compared to the previous one. Much like the old gearbox, this one is designed to provide power to two concentric, counter rotating output shafts. This in turn, powers the contra-rotating propellers which provide thrust for the submarine.
A special thanks to Fluor Canada Ltd. and the SNAME Pacific Northwest Section for supporting the project. None of this would be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. Thank you!
Some fun new electronics arrived for the submarine control system! The hope is to develop a system to automatically keep the submarine at a set depth whilst underway. More updates to come!
This is to officially announce that we are now in the Engineering Design Centre (EDC) in the southwest corner of the competition bays.
The EDC is located at 2345 East Mall.
It’s official. This weekend, SUBC will be moving to the Wayne and William White Engineering Design Centre (EDC) student team bays. We look forward to working closely with the other student teams located there, and believe is will be a creative and innovative environment.
Come on by and pay us a visit at the UBC Engineering Open House in the atrium of the Engineering Design Centre!
The event runs from 10:00 – 3:00 TODAY!
Come check out SUBC at the Main Event on Main Mall from 1:30 to 5:30 today!
