  • Publication number: 20150047901
    Abstract: Method of disintegrating rock by melting and by synergism of water streams, comprising action of the heat flow source on the rock, action of the water stream source on the melted rock so that: the heat or energy flow source acts on the rock at least until its local phase transition into the melt occurs, at least one water stream is directed into the locally created melt, physical explosion occurs in the melt, on which the water stream acts.

  • Publication number: 20130014574
    Abstract: A product, which passages are to be checked is brought to the measuring position, at least one measuring probe containing at minimum one emitting element and at minimum one receiving element is moved toward or inserted into openings of the product passages or an assembly of measuring probes consisting of at minimum one measuring probe containing at minimum one emitting element and at minimum one measuring probe containing at minimum one receiving element is moved toward or inserted into the opening of the product passages, following the part of the assembly consisting of at minimum one measuring probe containing at minimum one emitting element emitting in range of visible spectrum and/or infrared spectrum in the region of wavelength from 400 nm to 1500 nm is turned on and on the measuring probe, containing the receiving element, that forms a pair with the just working emitting element a response—a signal, size of which depends on amount of passed light, is measured, a signal amount is analysed and compared wi

  • Patent number: 8082996
    Abstract: Utilization of geothermal energy in depths above 5 km could contribute considerably to resolving the global problems related to a lack of energy and to glasshouse gases from fossil fuels. The invention describes innovative equipment which makes deep holes in geological formations (rock) by disintegrating the soil into blocks carried to the land surface through the excavated hole filled with liquid, using transport modules yielded up by gas buoyancy interaction in the transport module utilizing supercavitation. In an opposite direction—by help of negative buoyancy—the necessary energy carriers, materials and components, or entire devices required for rock excavation, are carried to the bottom. The opportunity to transport rock in entire blocks reduces energy consumption considerably, because the rock is disintegrated in the section volumes only. Some of the extracted rock and material carried from the surface is used to make a casing of the hole using a part of the equipment.

  • Publication number: 20110290563
    Abstract: Device for performing deep drillings, especially geothermal, may include a surface base, a borehole in a geological formation, filled with fluid, and a robotic multi-functional underground drilling platform, which contains especially a block (2) for crushing rock (1), a block for continuous formation of casing profile, a block of casing as transfer and transport infrastructure, a block (16) of transport container, a control and communication block (39), an energy block (4), a block of operating transport containers, and a block of removing and loading rock (1) from the place of crushing. The block (2) for rock crushing may be interconnected with block of removing and loading rock (1) from the place of crushing by means of water channels, ensuring removal of the crushed rock 107. The block of removing and loading rock (1) from the place of crushing may be interconnected with block (16) of transport container by means of water channels.
