These granite core samples are helping us unlock the most valuable #geothermal heat resources for power generation and industrial demand. Our millimeter wave drilling technology is optimized for the deep basement layer of the Earth’s upper crust, where you’ll find hard, crystalline rocks. Millimeter waves are at the cutting edge of what's possible for deep drilling and geothermal energy. Core sections like these reveal the minerals and lithologies we will encounter in our drilling field trials. Each mineral phase in a rock like granite absorbs, transmits, and reflects millimeter waves differently—affecting how quickly and efficiently we can drill. The drilling rate directly affects the overall economics of superhot geothermal energy. A better understanding of the rocks we are drilling into is crucial for bringing terawatts of clean power online in record time.

May i get one of those as a sovineer along with a plaque that gives me a reachable number to reach quaise for purchases and investing?
I very much wish you success!

4dDoes the millimeter wave drilling technology allow the recovery on deck of intact whole rock cores, which are essential for further studies in assessing the mineralogical and physical properties of geothermal reservoirs to be developed - e.g. EGS in Brazil (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geothermics.2021.102321)?
