Artist’s rendering of the gyrotron device that is a key component of Quaise Energy’s geothermal drilling rig. The gyrotron, long used in fusion research, will produce millimeter energy waves to vaporize rock at great depths. Among other applications, the technology could enable the conversion of coal plants around the world to the production of clean baseload energy.
