EMAP Chamber Project

The Hydro Group, led by Wesley Fine, Adrian Tate, and Leah Anderson, collaborated with Dr. Bonner and Mr. Deerman to create an unparalleled water slide. Standing at 110 feet tall and boasting a speed of 22.26 feet per second over a length of 340 feet, this state-of-the-art attraction combines safe materials like Nucor Steel and fiberglass with innovative hydraulic design to handle up to 1900 gallons per minute. Our rigorous design process eliminated various concepts to finalize a thrilling ride that guarantees excitement while prioritizing safety.

  4. What We Did • As the Hydro Group we worked with Dr. Bonner and Mr. Deerman to design a state of the art water slide that will blow your mind! • The specifications are as follows: 110 ft tall, a speed of 22.26ft per second, and a length of 340 ft.

  5. The Concept • There are several different factors that we had to consider. • One of our initial designs was for the slide to be a log flume • Final design idea

  6. Process of Elimination As you can see we came up with several crazy wicked awesome designs before we found one worthy of our approval. Our final design has been highlighted in crimson to demonstrate our tremendous school pride. ROLL TIDE!!!!!

  7. Constraints • The amount of water we could pump. • Reasonable budget. • What type of material to use that was cost effective yet safe enough to meet our requirements. • Ideal rider’s body type would be.

  8. Ideal Rider

  9. Design Elements • Hydraulic Design – We need a pump that can handle 1900 gallons of water per minute!!! • Materials– Nucor Steel, fiberglass.

  10. Detail Design • A traditional staircase will lead the riders to their desired destination. • We’ve calculated that to maintain the speed of this slide you will need an inch and a half of water under your body throughout the complete duration of the ride. • When you reach the end of the slide you will be launched into the air and then “safely” land in our pool.

  11. Similar Slide Designs

  12. Behind The Scenes • In order to come up with our measurements we found that we could implement Manning’s Equation to find all of the desired elements for our ride. • Manning’s Equation is as follows: A = Area of flow, Q = Flow, A/P = Hydraulic Radius, S = Slope, P = Wetted Perimeter

  13. Conclusion • A one of a kind water slide that is thrilling yet safe.
