Electrochaude: A Self-Flushing Hot-Water Drilling Apparatus for Glaciers With Debris
Abstract In order to avoid problems stemming from the accumulation of rock fragments at the bottom of the hole during conventional thermal drilling in ice, a new type of probe has been developed. In this system, the water is warmed electrically inside the probe itself and propelled by a micro-pump....
