I want to build a machine that can drill wells for water. With this problem of water in many places in Africa, we need to find a solution for how you can dig wells so you can be pumping water from deeper places.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I want to bring clean water to people who do not have it. What I'm trying to do now is think of ways to build a well-drilling machine that is low-cost so people in rural areas can afford it.

The truth is you can't get more water from reservoirs that are empty.
Dig your well before you're thirsty.
I was trained in seismic prospecting. We'd drill a deep hole and put dynamite in the bottom and blow it up remotely, which would give you a cross-sectional picture of the subsurface, which tells you where to drill.
There's a long list of technologies that have now made it possible to carry out very precise search efforts in the deep sea.
In reality drilling is the slowest, dirtiest, and most expensive way to solve our energy crisis.
We've been hydraulically fracturing wells in large numbers since the 1960s, first developed in 1940.
Deep ocean drilling is not new.
It is no use asking me or anyone else how to dig... Better to go and watch a man digging, and then take a spade and try to do it.
