    摘要: A force stacking assembly for use with an earth boring system that includes a series of actuators that each generate a force, and that are arranged to create a combined force that is cumulative of all of the actuators. The actuators include members that react in response to an applied stimulus, such as from an electrical current or magnetic field. The members are arranged in series in a hollow housing, planar bulkheads are transversely mounted in the housing. Each of the members have an end axially abutting a corresponding bulkhead. Ends of each member distal from it corresponding bulkhead couple to a ram member, that in turn couples to a drill bit. Energizing the members causes each to exert a force against the ram member, which is transferred to the bit.

    摘要: Oil well drilling apparatus for drilling deep boreholes. The apparatus includes a high frequency, high voltage, AC generator at the surface of the ground which is connected to an electromagnetic hammer drill bit located at the bottom of the borehole. Electric current is conducted along a special drill string to the electromagnetic hammer drill located at the bottom of the hole. The drill string is a co-axial electrically conductive drill pipe which forms spaced annular current flow paths to the downhole electromagnetic hammer drill, while at the same time, drilling fluid flows along an axial flow path to the vibrating bit located at the bottom of the borehole. A special directional drill collar is positioned immediately above the electromagnetic hammer drill for controlling hole deviation. The co-axial electrically conductive lightweight drill pipe, the electrically conducting control deviation drill collars, and the electromagnetic hammer drill bit and pulse transformer each forms a subcombination of the present invention; and, jointly comprise a new method and apparatus for forming boreholes.

    摘要: A downhole oscillation tool and method for axially vibrating a drill bit. In some embodiments, modular actuation assemblies may be provided, which may be readily interchanged between a housing and a shaft to axially vibrate the shaft with respect to the housing. Modular actuation assemblies may be mechanical, hydraulic, electric, or piezoelectric, for example, and may be characterized by differing oscillation frequencies. In some embodiments, a piezo element may be provided between the housing and the shaft.

    摘要: A subsurface explorer (SSX) for exploring beneath the terrestrial surface of planetary bodies such as the Earth, Mars, or comets. This exploration activity utilizes appropriate sensors and instrument to evaluate the composition, structure, mineralogy and possibly biology of the subsurface medium, as well as perhaps the ability to return samples of that medium back to the surface. The vehicle comprises an elongated skin or body having a front end and a rear end, with a nose piece at the front end for imparting force to composition material of the planetary body. Force is provided by a hammer mechanism to the back side of a nose piece from within the body of the vehicle. In the preferred embodiment, a motor spins an intermediate shaft having two non-uniform threads along with a hammer which engages these threads with two conical rollers. A brake assembly halts the rotation of the intermediate shaft, causing the conical roller to spin down the non-uniform thread to rapidly and efficiently convert the rotational kinetic energy of the hammer into translational energy.
