Welcome
WakeUS is a project developped over the course of the mechanical engineering degree associated with the University of Sherbrooke.
The project's goal is to design and manufacture an electrique propelled watercraft allowing the user to perform acrobatic maneuvers.
Our team is composed of 8 futur mechanical engineers.

Today was a test day for the team! Everything went fine! The results were conclusive. We made pulls on an instrumented rope to find out the necessary thrust to get out of the water and to keep a constant speed. In addition, we tested different weight classes for individual and added masses to the board.
