| Gyrotron Assisted Laser Drilling to Drill 12 Mile Deep Hole - Maybe |
| 2025-03-10 |
| Quaise Energy is planning to drill test holes up to 12.4 miles deep, using a 1-megawatt gyrotron that should zip through the rock in a mere 100 days. At these depths, the temperature will likely be around 932 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hot enough to provide a practical source of geothermal energy. |
