Magokinetic Mining Drill

Never before has the ingeniuity of humans been demonstrated better than with the Magokinetic Mining Drill. There you have a construct that was working with the usage of muscles and sweat - and it was elegantly improved to be a magotechnologically driven process. Truly, this is but the first step towards a glorious age of technology and industry!

The Magokinetic Mining Drill is a recent development, originally proposed during the sixth Annual Darturian World Exposition of Science and Magic in Conassa. It combines the technology of a Cattle Driven Quarry with the power of a General-Purpose Magokinetic Motor, leading to higher mining yield with less man-power.

Due to the rising demand in various metals by the developing industry in the western nations, several companies have specialized their own stock of Mining Drills, using various techniques. The drills are now a common occurrence in many sites of known metal deposits, outshining the many hopeful prospectors in the area.

Details

The Magokinetic Mining Drill combines two previously known technologies into one. It uses the already known quarry setup of a tower with several gears, moving the drill core up and down as well as rotating it through the use of a central gear. Where in the previous version cattle or even strong men would rotate the core through handlebars, now a General-Purpose Magokinetic Motor is used to apply motion to the core.

The mining core itself is adorned with ridges in an angle, producing loosened earth, stone and ore upwards. Due to it being made out of hard metals the tower construction has to support its high weight. Most constructions consist of several layers of support just for this purpose.

S.C.E. Patented Mining Drill

The Mining Drill Technology by Scavati Cobalt Enterprises is currently the most advanced and most productive mining drill known in the modern world. It uses special magically enhanced gearboxes to support the rotational movement of the drill core and increase pressure and momentum overall in the vertical movement.

This enables a more lightweight drill core to work with tougher layers of stone while drilling deeper than other drills on average. It also opens up the whole setup to more overall mobility. However, the additional use of magical support leads to an enormously increased usage of Kinetic Crystals or other artifacts with stored magical energy.

Economical effect

The spread of mining drills enabled the mining companies to fulfill the rapidly growing demand for raw metals in the growing industries. At the same time, it puts large groups of independent miners in danger of losing their volition, as they are not able to compete with these constructions. The demand for Kinetic Crystals, Magical Artifacts and Treated Hardwood for the towers has increased significantly.
