Abstract
The microwave-drill technology employs concentrated microwave energy in order to drill thermally in hard nonmetallic materials such as silicon, ceramics, glasses, concrete, and rocks. Besides drilling, this technology enables insertion of pins and nails, melting, cutting, and jointing operations. The paper describes the microwave-drill principles and its experimental implementations, and presents some of its possible applications.
