I know very little about Quaise Energy's technology, but find it very intriguing because if it works it would revolutionize power generation. Anyhow, obviously people commenting here have engineering backgrounds so I can't speak with much technicality. But, I was under the impression Quaise was going to use microwaves in a system that works just in front of a standard high-tech drill bit? That way the rock is merely cooked and fractured apart by the waves (not fully vaporized) and thereafter the standard drill bit above the microwave device....a bit system that's the most cutting edge available, would perform heavy lifting to complete the job of overall boring. My basic understanding is... (read more)
