水中熱削孔機の構造と特性
The piercing holes in the sea bed is a first stage operation on the ocean development, this creates technical difficulties, however, as many boring machines used on land are not efficient for under water operation. The authors built a special jet piercing machine or thermodrill which could operate under water efficiently. . The thermodrill operates with oxygen gas and kerosene. The piercing holes at the bottom of the sea requires high pressure of the jet stream, more than 10kg/cm2. This paper
