Hydrovélo Project: Fast Hydrobike

This lecture presents the Hydrovélo engineering project developed by a team of students at EPFL. The project aims to create a sustainable and accessible means of transportation powered solely by human energy, using hydrofoils to reduce drag and increase speed. The team faces challenges related to stability, take-off speed, and power delivery, while also leveraging practical elements from previous projects. The lecture covers the theoretical foundations of hydrofoils, transmission constraints, and acknowledgments to project sponsors.
