1:43 what are you talking about? The IDDP-1 drillhole hit magma all the way back in 2008, and now they are only doing it again, but on purpose. Also, magma was drilled into at Kīlauea starting with the Kīlauea Iki eruption as far back as 1959, for many years until 1988, and then again also in 2008 (big year for drilling into magma), while drilling for the Puna Geothermal Field. Magma has also been drilled into at Menengai Caldera in Kenya twice, between 2011 and 2014. The KMT (Krafla Magma Testbed) is just following in the footsteps of these projects and trying to better harness the energy.
Thanks for the comments. Script should have probably been more clear what "drilling into magma successfully" means (i.e. without getting the drill bit obliterated and the hole blocked). This video talks about the 2008 IDDP-1 drilling at 8:04 and for the sake of simplicity and story I tried to keep this focussed on Iceland. Appreciate the feedback.
VOLCANOLOGY 101 Lesson: mantle plumes. Educator: Prof. TheErik249 Stratovolcanoes consist of anedicite, dacite, and rhyolite magma. They're higher in silica. This makes them more explosive. This typically occurs when the magma chamber has intruded upon a ground water source, or a groundwater source has intruded upon the chamber or the region between the chamber and the cone. Water can not be compressed, so it boils and creates pressure that can not be contained by the rock. The result is an eruption. Iceland doesn't have any stratovolcanoes. There is no subduction occurring underneath Iceland. Iceland is a basalt formation sitting on the mid-Atlantic divergent plate boundry. Magma rises at this point and then moves in opposite directions to the east and to the west. But there is another source at work here. The Iceland hotspot. Magma rising from the outer core lower mantle boundry. It is theorized that the Iceland mantle plume is connected to a super plume that also feeds the Jan Mayan archipeligo plume and the Greenland plume. A simple test of the magma effusing from any one fissure on Iceland will indicate that the magma is very low in silica and very high in sulfur dioxide and iron. Plus, its ambient temperature is approximately 2100°Fahrenheit (1150°C), which is a clear indicator of mafic/basaltic magma. ONLY mantle plume hotspots effuse mafic magma that pours like water. The cooled magma becomes black and brittle. Afterward, long-term, the rock begins turning red as the iron oxidizes. Then, it begins crumbling into tiny fragments of reddish brown rubble, eventually becoming sand and then sandstone. But that hasn't happened on Iceland. WHY NOT??? Because it sits on a divergent plate boundry that has been very busy for about 210 million years. Plus, the hotspot is feeding this region freshly produced mafic magma directly from the core. It is theorized that this super plume is the very same plume that caused the Permian-Triassic extinction 251 million years ago and created the Siberian traps large igneous province. 🤷The more you know🤷
Pressure blowouts happen at oil fields all the time, under much less pressure. A magma chamber is an exponential increase in PSI. I would not want to be around the drill site.
A magma chamber and a hydrocarbon reservoir are two totally different things. There have been two documented examples of boreholes intersecting magma pockets. All that happens is that a small amount of magma enters the borehole and quickly cools and solidifies..usually resulting in the drill string becoming stuck.
to add: thinking it through, lava would/could not come out of the ground unless you had tremendous amounts of pressure, air/gas what else could it be, to make tons of rock, solid or liquid, its rock, and weighs tons, the pressure at hand must be.., magma. lastly, i cant see magma as underground lava and model our subsurface ideas from that like everyone seems to do. it looks cool huh.
AI makes this very simple for you as a creator I would imagine. I would imagine that it knows the rules for writing a short. As a writer, I can imagine it being able to pull off a beautiful presentation like this. I found this presentation to be quite clear and concise. These are qualities I admire and often find lacking on RU-vid.
Having watched this, I can't help but wonder if we might someday be able to tap the magma cells that lie beneath the Yellowstone Caldera. Not only would the generation of unbelievable amounts of power be possible, but it might also reduce the tremendous pressure that makes the Caldera so dangerous.
@@newnaturechannel oh - and for krafla, you have the fl sound, [krap:la] upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/e/e0/Krafla_pronunciation.ogg/Krafla_pronunciation.ogg.mp3
Let’s see if AI mentions the fact that once Iceland perfects this procedure, we will be able to do this anywhere on earth because there’s always heat deep underground. We don’t have to hit magma to produce energy. Better than Solar better than wind better than wave, it is a completely incessant energy source.
Maybe. Contrary to the claims in the video, magma releases a lot of pollution when the pressure is reduced. How the pollution load from producing such geothermal power would compare to wind/wave/solar energy is unknown to me. There may be some articles somewhere on the subject. Of course, it is not necessary to drill into magma to produce geothermal electricity. Water becomes supercritical a temperature far below that of even "slushy" magma - assuming superciticality is desirable.

While a drill hole 30,000 feet deep is so narrow as to make the idea of a magma blow-out remote, it is well to study the example of diatremes. Basically a mile wide hole hundreds of miles deep through the crust into the mantle, it is proportional to these deep wells. I asked a geologist what it would be like to see a diatreme erupt, and he said "you would die"
This is all bullshit. This project had already started in 2000 - and they are repeating it now. They don't drill into magma chambers but use the heat of the hydrothermal system, although the borehole reaches depths of approx. 3 km.
This is actually cool because these approaches were never used before and the unlimited amounts of energy were right there all the time below our feet, I believe that this approachment has a lot of potential for the generation of electricity for us humans. Even if you guys can pour tap water in the water well and have the volcano heat it up to produce steam you guys can have a steam engine running in no time 24/7
Only it's all bullshit. Check out by yourself. Google Iceland Deep Drilling Project! Then you will find out that nobody drilled into a magma chamber. The project started already in 2000 and the aim is to use the high temperature of the hydrothermal system.
This idea was explored in the 1952 scI-fi movie The Forbidden Planet. It would be great if the energy extracted could reduce the chance of super volcano explosion.
Do you not understand how this all works? If we continue to change our atmosphere, burning fossil fuels, our planet will quit supporting life as we need it long before we will ever burn all the fossil fuels. The damage continues to worsen yet we still are hardly changing our illogical ways. A runaway greenhouse event will destroy civilization.
Geothermal is the safest and cheepest energy source to be had. Pluss they don't drill into the magma? That would be inposeble to contain. What they do is drill two aligning holes and blast a chamber out between them a long ways from any magma. Lots of these already exist, and im not sure what these scientists are trying to accomplish beyound what's already been done.
There were trees on Iceland before the first people arrived, they and their sheep used up the woodlands and prevented regeneration. The forests of Britain were wiped out in the same way.
It will behave like a backdraft when houses burn down and build pressure inside the house until someone opens the door and dies instantaneously. Because of the sheer amount of pressure that builds inside the house.
So in fact yes they did drill into magma. Please keep your false clickbait claim to yourself and not discourage the creation of such interesting and important content.
Thousands of scientific letters were sent to all parts of the world, warning them to stop the melting of the ice caps at the poles and the Himalayas, to reduce earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and terrestrial eclipses, and and and... Yousif A Tobiya
4:47 Over millions of years? I suspect that number is greatly exaggerated or shall I say "Scientists baffled by (fill in the blank)" each time a scientific theory is vaporized by "new" information.
Question; if we tap into a lava chamber, & use its thermo power could that cool the lava to a point of harding? 2 why can't we drill into a Geizer, & harvest its thermo energy?
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
This area has been having eruptions like crazy over the last few years. I think it’s safe to say…. We have Zero idea what is going on under our feet. It’s all guess.
1000°C would be peanuts with tungsten... 😂 There is way more heat in magma than that I guess. According to wikipedia it's up to 1200°C and some other websides saying it's 1600°C peak. This would be lower than the meltingpoint of tungstencarbit. I'm not a drilling expert, but at least if costs doesn't matter this sonds like a perfect solution... 😅 you can even remain the tube in the chamber to habe an access.
There was a man-made disaster caused by drilling near a volcano. They created a mud volcano that destroyed their equipment. This idea is gambling with safety.
Yes, drill a hole or two and the gasses will erode the hole bigger and bigger until it blows and the lava will create new landscape around the facility. You drill into a vein, not into the bladder! Just like your body, poke it with a needle, blood will start coming out.. Gosh!
That is not! green energy, but deepblack. I thought of that years ago, to explain Lawrence Gardners findings in the south of of France, unreiveling the mystery of Rennes le Chateau.
With max pressure of 28 GPa, 4,061,056 psi. If man could not handle 8000 psi from the deep water well in the gulf what happens if hit 4 million psi at 2,000 degrees.
Honestly.. watched till 13 mins.. still waiting for answer.. It's like when I need to write an essay of 1000 words and I use first 800 to just rephrase the topic
Just for grins and giggles, watch the 1965 movie, "Crack In The World". And don't drill wirh a nuclear-tipped rocket. Seriously, geothermal energy MUST be the future.
Hell yeah, it's a good idea for them to do that, and I hope they succeed we as the human race need. Solve all the mysteries of this world and conquer and gain complete control of all the secrets of this world. That's our duty as humans.
Iceland is basaltic lava. It is thinner and flows smoothly and relatively non-violent. Mostly producing smooth lava flows and gasses with very little ash. Yellowstone is rhyolite lava. It is thicker and stickier and tends to erupt in the violent eruptions that produce the large ash cloud. They also create the pyroclastic flows, like those that wiped out huge areas around Mt. St. Helens. Drilling Iceland would be like opening a bottle of soda. Drilling Yellowstone would be like opening a bottle, that has been sitting in your car on a hot summer day, after it has been shaken.
Abstract : The energy that dominates the earth is very great, some of it is natural, like the heat of the sun and volcanoes, and some of it is human action, by cutting down trees, without replacing them and cultivating in their place... There are five forces that control or dominate the planet... 1- The first theory (horizontal dynamic movement) and its end... The occurrence of storms, rain, floods and snow, at unexpected times and places, is because of the expiration of this theory, which needs to be balanced... 2- The second theory (vertical dynamic movement) and its end... This movement or force controls or dominates the earthquakes, earth cracks, drying up of rivers and lakes, earth openings, mountain collapses, and the emergence of drinking water springs on the ground... It becomes out of control... These phenomena increased due to the end of this theory... The third theory: it is water that rotates the earth... The fourth theory: the Earth's axis of rotation has tilted 2° degrees... The fifth theory: The Earth has a new orbit... These studies had completed and sent on July 26th 2000 YOUSIF A TOBIYA
"The science coming from the project will be nothing short of groundbreaking." Yeesh, I do love me a good pun, but in this case, it could end up in REALLY bad taste!
The only way to get through a magmachamber is using drills that will not send of an chemical reaction. In my opinion spread often crystals formed by magma can contain energy from a last heavy earthquake. This can be released if a chemical proces is activated and these crystals come to a meltingpoint again. A 0.5 earthquake could then easily give an earthquake of 3 or higher if the last big one would have been a 4 or higher on the Richterscale. A+B=C C:2=D Dx1, 4 = bew height of quake. So its all about knowing what was the last high quake and do you want to release this power with drilling. Water can give a quick chemical reaction so drilling with using water isn't the best methode.
@@buggsy5 research is what scientist are afraid of. Then they will find out we have banged up the wrong tree for almost 70 years. Darwin his research went already in this way. He did not how to bring it to the people. His first books was getting people ready for it.
@@buggsy5 Bugsy, Darwin was into volcanoes and finding crystals. What he had as conclusion weel we went of it. Now we are saying magma chambers or( tectonicplates for causing earthquakes) but if you take the next thing in counter: Earthquake in a magnitude 8 and higher are realeasing forces over multiply atombomb strength. If rocks are grinding they pulverized. So is this the true reason of high earthquakes. Its surtainly to be doubt. Gasses, pockets of it, can they reach this kind of reaction, its never seen. So if you take a look what you find all over the world, crystals, left behind when the earth was founded. As I looked over earthquakes and period of time befor the formula I am working with occured, it can happen after 40 minutes or after more then decades. So if you look at these facts you or at least I did was looking into crystals forming and deforming. And after I have done that a hole lot was suddenly to be explained. So looking with a different idea to logical problems can give another view. My lives motto is no problem as great as the basic.
The occurrence of stoms,rains,ice, and floods at times and in unexpected places,confirms my theory the end of the (dynamic horizontal movement )which needs to balance and it sill under control to balance... But about earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, sinkholes, tsunami, dry lakes and rivers, flow of water from the mountains and hills,explodeand of eyes water from the ground, formation of new mountains or islands, collaps of mountains ,and cracks on ground,& ,& ,&,they are out of control or balance... Note :The earth will become like Venus... Yousif A Tobiya
I am guessing none of them ever wathed SG-1where the people of a plant use the thermal energy to poew the city and the shields. Ya that volcano erupted.
When you drill around an active volcano- one should expect a steam powered GEOTHERMAL ELECTRIC PLANT. Therefore there is no more need for fossil fuel to run the turbines isn’t it.
