CHAPTER

Using Microwave Energy for Millimeter Wave Drilling

The millimeter wavelength range is really crucial for transmitting energy efficiently over long distances in the size type that we would want for drilling a borehole. So it's that combination of generating high power and transmitting it very efficiently over long distance that will enable us to transmit all this microwave energy down a deep borehole. The way this would work in practice is that the gyro chon is not on 24 seven but it is on for the purposes of drawing a length that basically correlates to how long a specific joint of the drill pipe would be.
