Human Powered Vehicle (West Coast) Challenge : TreeHugger
When a bike costs around $10000 USD youd want it to go fast, and thats what some of the bikes at the recent human powered Vehicle Challenge aimed to do.

http://lancet.mit.edu/decavitator/

Extractions: Check out the videos , brush up with the hydrofoil basics , or go to the table of contents for a complete listing of documentation. Please see the reading list for aero/hydro dynamics references. On 27 October 1991, Mark Drela pedalled the human-powered hydrofoil, Decavitator , to a world-record speed of 18.5 knots (9.53 meters/second) over a 100 meter race course on the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts. In the spring of 1993 the Decavitator team was awarded the DuPont prize for the fastest human-powered water craft. This prize was to be awarded to the first team to break 20 knots over a 100 meter course, or to the team with the fastest speed on record as of 31 December 1992. A Little Background Information... The trek to the world record flight began in 1988 as Daedalus team members Marc Schafer and Bryan Sullivan returned from Greece. At that time they decided to build a human-powered vehicle (HPV) that an armchair athlete could operate. Marc initiated a student-run project (under MIT's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program - UROP) with funding from the MIT SeaGrant program. When the $25 000 DuPont Prize was announced in 1989, the goals of the project changed and speed became the primary objective. For the rest of the story, see the history page.
UCDavis Human Powered Vehicle
The UCDavis human powered Vehicle Team (HPV) is a student engineering group whose goal is to design an aerodynamic and highly engineering land vehicle.
http://hpv.ucdavis.edu/

Extractions: Designing, building, and racing a human powered vehicle for the ASME HPV challenge is a challenging and rewarding experience for students at UCDavis. The competition provides an excellent opportunity for engineering students to practice classroom knowledge on real-world applications. Team members gain important skills in teamwork, leadership, and time management. In the competition, the HPV teams are judged not only on the performance of the vehicle on the racetrack, but also on other factors, such as a technical presentation of the design, construction, and safety of the vehicle. This presentation score alone is worth a third of the overall competition. Placement in a sprint and a 40-mile road race are also a part of the final score.

Extractions: @import "/css/17/giz_screen.css"; from Urban Transport (136 articles) Image Gallery (1 image) June 6, 2007 Its been a good few weeks for Human Powered Vehicle fans with Sam Whittingham reclaiming the fastest human record from Fast Freddy Markham by pedalling 53.917 miles in an hour and then Greg Kolodziejzyk setting a new human powered boat record for 24 hours, pedalling 173.76 km . Both are experienced campaigners with Sam now again holding the HPV top speed (an unbelievable 81 mph) record and the endurance (one hour record) the current world HPV record holder for both top speed, at 81mph, and endurance: 53.917 miles covered in 1 hour. For Kolodziejzyk, who set the 24 hour land HPV record at 1046.94 km (650.538 miles) last year , its just the start of a new adventure as he begins to prepare for a human powered transatlantic crossing in 2008 .

Extractions: In an amazing display of team excellance Chico HPV won both the single rider and tandem road races in the annual ASME compeition held in Reno April 27-28. Overall Double Latte finished second, while Midnight Mocha took home fifth. It had been a long year but all the hard work paid off with the first time a team has won both road races. In the sprint race on Saturday Double Latte took second at 35.2 mph, only .6 mph from first. Midnight Mocha claimed sixth with a speed just under 39 mph. The ever changing wind conditions made for an exciting sprint event. Wheather to run a fairing or not was a tough deciscion, but after dumping the bike at 35 mph it was decided maybe without would be best, but wait!!! Then the winds died for a brief moment and Mike Cusick was able to power the tattered fairing to the blazing speed of 39 mph. Earlier in the day in more favorable conditions Alicia Mercer secured a high road race start by cranking out a speed of 33+ mph. Sunday was the day Chico had been waiting for, with top-notch bikes and talented riders we knew great things were ahead. Alicia started things off by quickly taking the lead and then comfortably settling in behind Hawaii for the remainder of her laps. Then Kevin Hulick hopped on and promptly put Chico in the lead. Kevin then turned control over to Mike Cusick who as head designer of the bike decided it was time to see how well the bike handled in a crash. It did quite well and a quick recovery put Chico back into the lead over Reno. I (Andy Palmer) then took the reins for the reminder of the race, holding off Reno for a 15 second victory.

Extractions: Aerorider Velomobile If commuting with human powered vehicles becomes popular it could offer a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and also address the obesity epidemic. It is amazing that many people drive their car to the gym so they could workout on an exercise machine. Think of the money saved in gas and gym fees by just driving your Velomobile to work. Many new models have a small battery electric assist as well as being human powered. If you live anywhere other than a very flat terrain then you could certainly use the assistance getting up hills and the like. As some of these vehicles weigh up to 70 lbs. going uphill without the assist could prove extremely difficult. You would need to research to see what the rules of the road are in your area and figure out if your terrain would be Velomobile friendly or not. One place to get this information is Velomobiling.net perhaps the ultimate place to go for all things Velomobile.

http://www.catoregon.org/hpm/longhaul4kids.htm

Extractions: The Long Haul by Human Powered Machines is equally suited to the proverbial "load of bricks" or the most precious cargo—your kids. Made in the USA since 1986 and in Eugene, OR since 1990, the Long Haul was inspired by European utility bikes, but redesigned with CroMo tubing for strength and flexibility, SRAM internal 3x9 or standard derailleur 3x9 (27 speed) gearing, and upgraded brakes (with disc brake option). These improvements make the Long Haul lighter, faster, and able to brake more effectively. Most workbikes in the world have lacked the quality that serious cyclists take for granted. Portland owner Helga Fuller uses her Long Haul as a family vehicle and says, "this is a real bike!"

Extractions: PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS CURRENT STUDENTS COMMUNITY Main Out here in the middle of Nevada, we just read that the Wendy's in Rolla has been named one of the top Wendy's in America. That got us missing home and feeling proud. Speaking of proud, we're out here with Jerrod and his UMR crew to chronicle their attempt to break the the collegiate human-powered land speed record (which you already know about if you're reading this, so this is getting kind of repetitive). produced by Tom Shipley ANYWAY, we want to urge you to let the UMR team know that you're rooting for them by leaving comments here (see comments link below). The team feels like tonight (late this afternoon) might be its best chance at the record. P.S. Did we mention that it's pretty desolate out here? P.P.S. Stay tuned for more of Bob's updates, which should be posted some time Pacific Time after tonight's action (or at least by some time tomorrow morning). We'll be here all week!

CSU Newsline - Engineering Students Win Human Powered Vehicle Competition
This is a tremendous achievement for our engineering students because it is truly their project, said Nick Repanich, advisor to the human powered vehicle
http://www.calstate.edu/newsline/2006/n20060502chi1.shtml

Extractions: Engineering Students Win Human Powered Vehicle Competition Cheering on their teardrop-shaped, red-and-white "trike," California State University, Chico mechanical engineering students won the coveted Human Powered Vehicle Challenge West Coast Competition April 28-29 at San Luis Obispo over 32 other universities. CSU, Chico's three-wheeled recumbent bike-the first three-wheeler to win the competition-hit speeds averaging 45-50 mph while winning the women's sprint and the endurance race, and coming in second in the men's sprint and overall design, for a combined first-place score. The competition, sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), is held annually on the East and West Coasts, though the West Coast event is considered far more competitive. University of Missouri at Rolla-a perennial East Coast winner-entered the West Coast competition and came in second. Portland State University came in third. Other universities in the 2006 competition included University of Colorado, University of Oklahoma, University of Texas at San Antonio, Texas Tech, University of Arizona, Oregon State, Washington State, Colorado State, Northern Illinois, Northern Arizona, UC Riverside and the Air Force Academy. Other CSU campuses in the competition were Fresno, Fullerton, Long Beach, Northridge, San Jose and Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, which hosted the event this year. Last year, CSU, Chico placed third overall in the competition behind Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and University of Missouri at Rolla, respectively. While CSU, Chico has won numerous individual events during recent competitions, including last year's endurance race, the University had not won the overall title since 1998.
