  • Guidance for Rowers and Canoeists on Shared Waters
    Guidance for Rowers and Canoeists on shared water INTRODUCTION The growth in participation in water sports means that many rowing and canoe clubs and centres have to share the water where they row or canoe and it is important to build good relationships. This advice is published jointly by British Canoeing and British Rowing. Rowing boats and canoes behave very differently. By understanding these differences, and agreeing and following some basic guidelines, rowers and canoeists can happily share the same piece of water. The following table highlights the major differences: Rowing and sculling boats Canoes and Kayaks Relatively fast Relatively slow Good view astern, poor view ahead Good view ahead, poor view astern Not very manoeuvrable Manoeuvrability varies according to design Wide (up to 7 m blade tip to blade tip) Narrow Difficult to stop quickly Easier to stop quickly What canoeists need to know about rowing boats • There are many different types and sizes of rowing and sculling boats, for 1, 2, 4 or 8 people. • Rowing boats (especially 4s and 8s) are fast and go well in straight lines. • Rowing boats do not naturally stop quickly but rowers can do an emergency stop. • Rowers do not face the direction of travel. • Some rowing boats have coxes – some are in the front of the boat, some are at the back. • Coxes have restricted vision – the ones in the front cannot see behind at all or to the side very easily, coxes at the back have difficulty seeing directly ahead, can see to the side and have limited vision behind.

  • Human Powered Hydrofoil Design & Analytic Wing Optimization
    Human Powered Hydrofoil Design & Analytic Wing Optimization Andy Gunkler and Dr. C. Mark Archibald Grove City College Grove City, PA 16127 Email: [email protected] Abstract – Human powered hydrofoil watercraft can have marked performance advantages over displacement-hull craft, but pose significant engineering challenges. The focus of this hydrofoil independent research project was two-fold. First of all, a general vehicle configuration was developed. Secondly, a thorough optimization process was developed for designing lifting foils that are highly efficient over a wide range of speeds. Given a well-defined set of design specifications, such as vehicle weight and desired top speed, an optimal horizontal, non-surface- piercing wing can be engineered. Design variables include foil span, area, planform shape, and airfoil cross section. The optimization begins with analytical expressions of hydrodynamic characteristics such as lift, profile drag, induced drag, surface wave drag, and interference drag. Research of optimization processes developed in the past illuminated instances in which coefficients of lift and drag were assumed to be constant. These shortcuts, made presumably for the sake of simplicity, lead to grossly erroneous regions of calculated drag. The optimization process developed for this study more accurately computes profile drag forces by making use of a variable coefficient of drag which, was found to be a function of the characteristic Reynolds number, required coefficient of lift, and airfoil section. At the desired cruising speed, total drag is minimized while lift is maximized. Next, a strength and rigidity analysis of the foil eliminates designs for which the hydrodynamic parameters produce structurally unsound wings. Incorporating constraints on minimum takeoff speed and power required to stay foil-borne isolates a set of optimized design parameters.

  • From Counterpublics to Counterspaces: Bicyclists' Efforts to Reshape Cities
    5 / 2012-13 From counterpublics to counterspaces: Bicyclists’ efforts to reshape cities Lusi Morhayim University of California, Berkeley Abstract This research examines bicyclists’ demand for the right to the city through an analysis of Critical Mass (CM) rides in San Francisco, California. The lack of investment allocated to alternative forms of transportation in the United States produces a form of social and spatial injustice because it eliminates freedom of choice not only for already disadvantaged populations but also for those who engage in everyday politics through their lifestyle choices. Ethnographic, historical, and iconographic analyses of CM rides demonstrate how these bicyclists perceive each other as a public built around shared values and lifestyles (that may broadly be defined as environmentally friendly and socially responsible). Bicyclists’ shared lifestyle defines their counter position on urban form. CM bicyclists appropriate urban streets and carry their counterdiscourses regarding street use into the public sphere. The rides strengthen bicyclists as a counterpublic, challenge automobiles’ cultural hegemony in modern urban life, subvert everyday urban experience, and allow bicyclists to create their counterspaces as they collectively ride. Keywords: Critical Mass, bicycling, counterpublic, counterspace, lifestyle politics. In San Francisco, on the last Friday of every month since 1992, rain or shine, bicyclists gather in Justin Herman Plaza starting at around six in the evening. When their numbers grow large enough for them to negotiate the right of way safely, they start the ride together. One by one, all of the bicyclists pour onto Market Street. At the very time when motorists are anxious to return home, hundreds of bicyclists circle the plaza, blocking traffic on Embarcadero in both directions.

  • Making Invisible Riders Visible: Motivations for Bicycling and Public Transit Use Among Latino Immigrants
    Making Invisible Riders Visible: Motivations for Bicycling and Public Transit Use among Latino Immigrants By Jesus Miguel Barajas A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Daniel G. Chatman, Chair Professor Robert Cervero Professor Paul Waddell Professor Joan Walker Summer 2016 Abstract Making Invisible Riders Visible: Motivations for Bicycling and Public Transit Use among Latino Immigrants by Jesus Miguel Barajas Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Daniel G. Chatman, Chair Immigrants now comprise the largest share of the population of the United States since 1850, with continued increases projected into the foreseeable future. Most foreign-born residents come from Latin America and other developing countries. Nationwide, they tend to travel by cheaper and more sustainable modes of transportation upon arrival, gradually adopting American habits of driving over time. A challenge for planners concerned with reducing the impact of automobile travel and providing an equitable transportation system is to understand and capitalize on the motivations for immigrant travel that would allow them to meet their travel needs without relying on cars. In this mixed-methods dissertation, I investigate three questions about the nature of how immigrants travel in the San Francisco Bay Area, a fairly transit- and bicycle-friendly metropolitan region, with these sustainability and equity questions in mind: 1. How do travel patterns differ between low-income immigrants and other population sub- groups? 2. What influences cycling among immigrants and non-immigrants? More specifically, to what extent do individual factors, the social environment, and the built environment predict bicy- cling, and how do their effects differ between immigrants and non-immigrants? 3.
