| Title: | ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY ASSISTED DRILLING SYSTEM AND METHOD | |||||
| Abstract: | A drill bit, system and method for penetrating a material such as a mineral bearing rock or the like is disclosed. The system comprises a drill bit comprising a cutting face comprising at least one cutting tool, an emitter of microwaves positioned behind the cutting face, wherein at least a portion of the microwaves are emitted in a direction away from the cutting face, and a reflector for directing the portion to the cutting face. In operation the emitted microwaves irradiate the material prior to the irradiated material being removed by the at least one cutting tool. | |||||
