Committed students in the university group Betonboot have been working on the floating building material since 1996. The goal: to build the lightest and fastest boat for the regatta. In the latest episode of "Richard tests ...", the reporter took a closer look and found out all about carbon, expanded glass and tensile forces. Of course, a test paddle was also included. Watch the video to find out whether Richard made it back to the banks of the Elbe dry after a test ride.

The “Richard has a closer look at...” video series offers a glimpse into the lives of students – beyond the daily grind on campus. They try out various sport groups, activities outside of lectures and university groups. From editing to production, TU Dresden students manage this video series.
