Supposedly, the way nuclear subterranean drills work is not by digging, but by tunneling. Its doesnt dig out debris, it heats it to super-hot temps and moves through it.

There was a small 2.1 quake in NJ in the early morning hours today. It was 3.5 miles deep. Witnesses described what they thought was a major explosion. Maybe this is how they build the bunkers without us knowing about it. They tell us it was a small earthquake.

You just make up questions without reading any of the dozens of sites on underground bases, tunnels, Denver Airport etc...where there are maps, locations, explanations and tons of info..free.
They are there, they are real, the info supplies your answers.
Give us long time members some credit...after all. We search out answers, and find them.

I did read up on it. I read the material. It just can't work, more like science fiction. Yes, some of the material could be used for the walls, if it is a suitable type of material. Then some more can be used to fill cracks. I'm fine with that. On a 19m dia tunnel, for every meter you tunnel you have 227 cubic meters of debris to get rid of. Do your own calculations.
While your at it compare the strength of concrete with and without steel rebar as the strengthening agent. Without steel reinforcement you have a very weak tunnel that would be subject to cave-ins.
You are reading from a document about a machine that has not been built. There is simply too much material to get rid of. You can't believe every thing you read. Let alone that there is absolutely no mention of how molten rock is going to be forced into these cracks. I'm sorry. Not every thing that has a patent is actually built. Patents are about protecting ideas and concepts.

Just answer one question please. What do you do with the debris. In a tunnel with a diameter of 19 meters, for every meter you dig you have 227 cubic meters of material. You can't magically compress it to form the walls. You can't 'turn it into vapor', so, what will you do to get rid of it.

Does a worm have to remove the debris from its tunnels? Thats the best way to look at it. Supposedly, the way nuclear subterranean drills work is not by digging, but by tunneling. Its doesnt dig out debris, it heats it to super-hot temps and moves through it.
Your arguments are childish. A worm is going through pliable soil, not solid bloody rock. Is that the best you have?
You two have a lovely posting history! AM I annoying someone with this thread?

yes, they do actually - look up earthworm casts.

Then after the machine passes the material solidifies.... so no tunnel!
For a tunnel, which is just a hole in the ground, to be dug material has to be removed. no material removed, no hole in ground, no tunnel.

I will leave it up to every one one this thread to decide how much physics you understand. I know you can spell the word but you don't seem to understand the basics like atomic structure of rock and compression of rock. You do not seem to know why concrete is reinforced or what liquid rock actually is. Liquid rock is lava, it's properties are dependent on the atomic structure of the rock and there are hundreds of types of rocks all with vastly different properties.
