What did the Soviets discover in the Kola Superdeep well at a depth of 12,262 meters?
We know so little about the structure of the Earth. For example, our planet is not fully spherical, as it slightly flattens when rotating. Therefore, its equatorial diameter (12.754 km) is 43 km larger than the polar one (12.711 km). Our planet is the densest celestial body in the solar system, followed by Mercury among other planets. Different layers of our planet's core, crust, and mantle rotate at different speeds relative to each other. Oxygen makes up about 50% of the entire mass of the earth's crust, which is found in bound form in almost all minerals. About 25% of the crust is silicon, and the remaining 25% is everything else.
The continental crust is on average 35-45 km thick but it can reach 75 km under mountain ranges. The matter density in the center of the Earth's core reaches 12.5 tons per 1 m³, and the pressure there is about 3.7 million atmospheres.
Humanity has dived deep into oceans, flown to the moon, and even sent its robotic explorers to Mars. We have studied the surface of the Earth quite well, but as always the most interesting thing lies deep inside. And although these depths are literally under our feet, we know little more about them, if not less, than about the deepest space. A whole "expedition" is needed to look even a little into the earth's crust, just like flying to the moon. And there have been such projects that brought some amazing data.
Well, it's time to find out what lies deep down in the ground. Is there life out there? And what interesting things have already been found there?
Today we'll look at three of the most interesting ultra-deep wells that became one of the first projects exploring extreme depths of the earth's crust.
What was found in the deepest wells?

I had never heard of the Swedish well so thanks for the tip. The temperatures we were encountering around here at 3000-3800 meters were in the 100-130 degrees Celsius range.

While very impressive (how do they slide 7 kms of pipe?!?), those aren’t True Vertical Wells, and why they aren’t as impressive as TVD Deep Wells is that the deeper you drill, the slower and harder it gets, higher pressures, higher temperatures and harder rock all contributing to this.

Since they are drilling straight down I'm guessing the main hurdle is losing torque over distance, so you would need additional mud motors placed in the string and the main problem with that is the temperature at that depth destroying the motor rubber and seals in whatever logging tools they are running in the string.

Anyway the guy throughout the entire video narrates it using the decimal point as apparently you and I would see it, yet at the beginning he tells us that the earth has a diameter of “twelve point seven five four” kilometers (in European)… hence the confusion , he should have just said the entire number as 12750 km What I am trying to say is I think you gave that guy, or girl Viki, shit for nothing : )

I think that from a certain point on, temperature becomes a problem. And also the so-called lithoplastic deformation events set in. Further down you need temperatureproof drilling heads, eventually need of coolant. Water starts evaporating at 100°C, so thereafter something else would be required. But finally and even all this will reach a point from where everything won't remain solid, also the well diameter, equal what expensive superhard drillhead material you have in operation and undergoes permanent deformation, thermal thread, from where a "mechanical drilling" no longer can be done properly or even work because you are literally kneading your drillhead forward into lithoplastic mineralic masses, merely sooner or later transitioning into a consistence of lava.

Well, another wonderful channel I've discovered around here.
"It is easier to reach space 400km up than it is to drill 12km a third of the way thru Terra·s crust ."
The one and only thing, though they didn't actual see it. Was the fact that at the distance they bored down to was limited by the constant melting of the drill bit. They utilzied various materal's and regardlessly, none of them were able to cause the bore hole to go any deeper, when they basically just melted.
If anyone cares, a little note on the pronunciation of "chikyuu", the Japanese word for the planet earth (地球, basically meaning ground sphere): The accentuation is not put on the first syllable (ち, chi), but rather on the _second syllable_ (きゅう, kyuu). Additionally, the "i" in "chi" should be more silent, more as part of the "ch"-sound itself. So, what you basically end up with is something like: "ch-KYUU", if that makes any sense.
After misbehaving as a teen I was sent to my uncles, an ex army sarge. He asked me to dig a hole in his backyard leaving me for work. He never returned for 11 days having endured serious work injury. When he came back he saw a 15 foot hole and a malnourished nephew

@OpTicBossaru
26 күн бұрын
Difficulty increases exponentially with depth. For example, you either need to dig a hole big enough for the whole machine to lower itself Into, and repeat the process again and again to make progress... Which is not feasible, especially in the ocean. OR. Like a commercial oil rig, the machine stays on the surface, and the drill is more or less a series of links that can be added to from the top. Drill 10 feet, stop, raise the motor, add a 10ft section of drill, continue drilling, repeat for about 5 miles. So, one bad locking lug in that chain, and the whole thing fails. Not to mention, the parts at the bottom (actual drill head) will need to be replaced or serviced at some point. So now you have to raise the chain of drill links and take every single one out, store them somewhere, replace the drill head, then lower them all back down in a controlled manner (can't just drop them), again one at a time. The weight of every single piece has to be suspended at once by the machine if there's no earth to support it. Being in the ocean kinda helps this one. A, things fall slower in water and B, the weight of water they displace will offset the weight of the steel a bit. Still fucking heavy. Repeating this for FIVE MILES is ridiculous. If something breaks and gets stuck, the hole is shot. You can't drill through the old drill. And because it's not actually a straight line, you can't really move the machine 10 ft and try again or you may still hit the old bore hole and damage the new drill. So your moving it a reasonable distance. Again, easier on the ocean. But still sucks. So yeah I don't doubt they just had a parts failure fairly deep into the drilling and called it quits instead of trying again. Or had several failed attempts.

They’ve taken many measurements of earthquakes. Knowing the speed of sound through different mediums, they were able to determine, through triangulation, what mediums exists in the earth, at what depths and what they’re made of. Scientists also know that the center is very hot. So through a variety of sciences, they’ve learned a lot about what’s in the cores of our earth.

The same way they "know" that the Earth is billions of years old. They don't, they just make guesses and assume they're correct. That is pretty evident when the rock layers were not turning out as they expected. If there's one thing we should have learned from recent events, it's that there are plenty of things that can be presented as scientific fact whether they are true or not.

All they found was that drill heads can't drill through hard magma. And that has been known for many years. As soon as the pressure gets too high, rock starts to flow. And that binds the drill head and makes it impossible to drill.

they did find something weird stuff that is used these days on cars today. it makes layer on all metal metal - to - metal surfaces and it reduces friction, heat and emissions and also makes engine power back to original or even a bit more. also it does not pour out of engine when you change the oil, it sticks on the friction surfaces and with normal driving style, it lasts for 100 000km without the engine getting worn at all! that is called RVS-technology, from finland! :) i suggest to try it!

You guys know we also went to Venus with our remote operated spacecrafts right..? Whole different world that we not only took readings from orbit but also landed on, took panoramic photos, and even analyzed soil samples and recorded actual audio from it's windy surface.

Fascinating what people leave out when talking about their achievements especially since they did the best explorations of Venus , the most inhospitablely hot and caustic planets ever to exist.
