  • METHOD FOR INTRODUCING A BOREHOLE
    Publication number: 20170138129
    Abstract: Methods for constructing a borehole, in some examples, in the Earth's crust, may involve holding a drill head in the borehole by a linkage. The drill head may include a thermal device that causes material on a base of the borehole to be released from the solid phase via phase change. The released material may be removed in a direction of the Earth's surface. Further, the thermal device may be operated so that it generates a thermal output power high enough to predominantly sublimate material when transitioning out of the solid phase.
