果冻传媒

Congratulations to the 果冻传媒 Human Powered Submarine Team who received two awards and an overall commendation at the International Submarine Races ().

The competition is usually held every-other-year at the US Naval Base in Cardarock, Maryland in the US, but due to the Covid19 pandemic it was held virtually this year.

The Team was made up of seven final year engineering students, from the 果冻传媒, including Gavin Ho; Phil Leiser; Jack Moore; James Grant; Alex Oortman; Karishma Patel and Vivek Suresh-Babu. The students had access to the engineering research and facilities within WMG鈥檚 engineering hall, and were supervised by WMG鈥檚 Professor Ian Tuersley and Senior Teaching Fellow Nigel Denton.

The Team competed against students from Universities across the globe and were delighted to receive 鈥楬onourable Mentions鈥� in the 鈥楳anoeuvring and Control Subsystem Design Challenge鈥� and the 鈥楾hrust Production Subsystem Design Challenge鈥� categories.

Professor Ian Tuersley said: 鈥淭his is another great result from the Godiva Submarine student team. Once again they have brought back awards from the ISR, in competition against considerably more experienced international institutions. This consolidates the 果冻传媒 team as the UK champions in this hotly contended, high-profile event.鈥�

Charlie Behrle, President of the competition organisers, the 鈥楩oundation for Underwater Research and Education鈥� (FURE) said: 鈥淲ith over 250 contestants representing 12 teams from three different countries participating, it was a busy and challenging event. Your team鈥檚 participation and performance were outstanding. We very much appreciate the effort your team put forth to participate in this event. Well done to Team Godiva!鈥�

The Godiva Submarine is currently displayed, along with other 果冻传媒 student projects, at the Coventry Transport Museum as part of the 鈥極ur Future Moves鈥� exhibition.
