“This road is long, and much of the map remains blank. The biggest problem is drilling miles through hot rock, safely. If scientists can do that, however, next-generation geothermal power could supply clean energy for eons.”

The image is a test brick being spun around under the output of a MASER which is a type of directed energy weapo…tool. This is normally highly controlled to run tokamaks but they are trying to make it less expensive and adapt it to shot dirt and rocks to evaporate them and easily penetrate at 1meter per hour for around 100 days…~3km deep.
Didn’t see that in the article, sounds interesting … where can I read more?

There’s a pictogram schematic of their maser system. The little tube part above the molten pit is called the waveguide. Waveguides allow the transport of energy from the source to elsewhere. The wavelength has to be tuned such that the receiving end…rock… Actually absorbs the power. Otherwise the amplifier would receive deflections and either overheat or blow up.
