A Microscale Analysis of Millimeter-wave Induced Vitrified Basalt for Use in Enhanced Geothermal Energy Systems
Extraction of the energy available from geothermal heating in the Earth could provide substantial contributions to energy needs long-term. However, there are major technical limitations with the current geothermal drilling process. A new technology in the field of EGS that uses a millimeter (MM) wav...
