Alien Technology on Earth

It's not really "Alien" technology just a bit strange.
This is the technology web site of the inventor Louis P. Quinn.
An old method used in mining was to heat the rock and then apply water. This
would create a inverse temperature gradient. If the temperature beneath the rock
surface were above the crystalline phase change of quartz in the rock, the phase
change will cause an increase in the volume of the quartz. The internal pressure
generated could cause material to flake off of the rock surface, or to shatter the
rock.

Microwaves used for cutting and drilling as shown in Mauer’s book are one
approach of achieving thermal inversion by internal heating. I suggest that in the
vacuum of space, microwaves and artificially generated plasmas could use thermal
inversion and plasma processes to efficiently disintegrate the rock and extract the
ore.
