Deep Earth Shaft Proposal By Sir Charles Parsons
Sir Charles Parsons advocates boring a 12 mile deep shaft toward the earths center funded by a rich American, with stages half a mile deep and air locks to manage pressure and heat. Critics say practical depth is about three miles given ventilation and granite lining limits, but the project could yield major scientific insights and energy knowledge.
