This robotic worm digs for geothermal energy in your yard
4 billion years back, Earth was a fiery, turbulent world of molten rock, volcanic eruptions, and hazardous skies, with searing heat and the continuous danger of asteroid effects.
Luckily, our world has actually cooled down a bit ever since. The Earth still radiates huge quantities of geothermal energy. It's a tidy, endless, always-on source of power lying below our feet-- we simply need to dig for it. Or get robotics to do the effort for us.
Borobotics, a start-up from Switzerland, has actually established a self-governing drilling maker-- called the "world's most effective worm"-- that assures to make utilizing geothermal heat more affordable and more available for everybody.
"Drilling will end up being possible on homes where it would be unimaginable today-- little gardens, parking area,...
