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

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 riders body type would be.

Ideal Rider

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.
• Weve 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.

Behind The Scenes

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

Conclusion

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