Calibrating a Hydroplane
For the 2012 racing season, I was invited by the Gregory family to be part of their U88 racing team. While our season didn’t always go our way, we had some great moments. Along the way, I found many of my metrology skills were invaluable.
When not working in the calibration laboratory, my spare time is spent working on unlimited hydroplanes (race boats). In my early days, the work consisted of fixing mechanical issues and a relay panel that was used to start the boat. As these boats use turbine engines, my job was complete once the engines were started. Today’s race boats are more advanced, incorporating data acquisition computers and various monitors.
To enhance safety, the sanctioning body for unlimited hydroplanes requires us to monitor various operating parameters. So now after the engine is started, I monitor all of these computers from a technical support truck. For me, the calibration lab has moved from the confines of a temperature controlled lab to my little corner of a support vehicle. (The team says my portion of the truck sometimes exceeds the limit of space available, but that’s another blog post).
