FUSION TECH FINDS GEOTHERMAL ENERGY APPLICATION

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Quaise Energy plans to deploy gyrotron drills to vaporize rocks using powerful microwaves to dramatically reduce the costs and timelines of drilling to fantastic depths. Gyrotrons use high-power linear-beam vacuum tubes to generate millimeter-length electromagnetic waves. The technology is used in nuclear fusion research to heat and control plasma. It could make technologies like geothermal energy viable in more areas of the planet.
