Woskov asks, “What if you could drill beyond this limit? What if you could drill over 10 kilometers into the Earth’s crust?” With his proposed gyrotron technology this is theoretically possible.

Production increased as expected mainly due to a significant increase in milled grade following the waste extraction efforts over the course of the year which gave access to higher grade areas.

In early January, researchers from the University of Glasgow in Scotland took a modified version of their Martian drill to Antarctica. They’re poised to send it down to the bottom of a 651-meter deep ice borehole completed January 10 by researchers with the British Antarctic Survey, or BAS. The goal is to bring back pieces of Antarctic bedrock that could help determine how long ice has covered Skytrain Ice Rise, a site near the Antarctic Peninsula, and provide clues to its past climate.

It’s always worth being reminded that, in terms of sheer numbers and even mass, humanity is not the dominant form of life on Earth. Putting aside the somewhat bemusing question of whether viruses count as “life” for now, it’s safe to say that the microscopically small members of both the Bacteria and Archaea domains are everywhere.

By training locals on drilling and businesses techniques, rural villages can become economically sustainable and have access to clean water. A Village Drill is cheaper, costing $18,000, while large drill rigs easily charge double the amount.

In addition, Panasonic announced the new VT60 range, the previous high-end models. There were three sizes announced: the 55in TC-P55VT60, 60in TC-P60VT60 and 65in TC-P65VT60.

Since drift competition rules dictate firewall modifications are prohibited, the only way to force the big motor far enough back into the small engine bay to gain a favorable weight distribution was to route the exhaust tubing forward and collect at a single point. As the story goes, the exhaust man came with a stack of pipe one day, and 12 hours later this engineering marvel was fabbed-up and ready for paint prep.

Production increased significantly as 2018 benefited from a full year of production since commercial production began in Q4-2017.

The foundations of the Hughes fortune had been laid, noted Barlett in a 1979 book. “Exactly what role, if any, Humanson’s spools may have played in the final design of the rock bit is impossible to determine today.”
