  2. Roller cone bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_cone_bit

    A roller-cone bit is a drill bit used for drilling through rock that features 2 or 3 abrasive, spinning cones that break up rock and sediment as they grind against it. Roller-cone bits are typically used when drilling for oil and gas. [1] A water jet flowing through the bit washes out the rock in a slurry. [2]

  3. Ultrasonic/sonic driller/corer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic/sonic_driller/corer

    The USDC requires a very low axial load, or downward force applied, to be able to drill through tough surfaces such as granite, rock, or ice. Near zero torque is needed to operate the drill, as it does not bore using a traditional rotary force. [1] Comparatively, the USDC uses much less power to operate than other drill boring through hard ...

  4. NFL Scouting Combine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_Scouting_Combine

    Empirical research published in 2011 found that the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, 20-yard shuttle, and 3 cone drill tests have limited validity in predicting future NFL performance, suggesting that a prospect's past performance in college is a better indicator of future NFL performance than these physical ability tests.

  5. Three-cone drill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-cone_drill

    The three-cone drill, 3-cone drill or L-drill is a test performed by American football players. It is primarily run to evaluate the agility, quickness and fluidity of movement of players by scouts . It is most commonly seen at the NFL Combine in preparation for the NFL draft but is also an important measurement for collegiate recruiting .

  6. Machine taper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_taper

    Even on many drill presses, handheld drills, and lathes, which have chucks (such as a drill chuck or collet chuck), the chuck is attached by a taper. On drills, drill presses, and milling machines , the male member is the tool shank or toolholder shank, and the female socket is integral with the spindle.

  7. Well drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_drilling

    The factors affecting drill bit selection include the type of geology and the capabilities of the rig. Due to the high number of wells that have been drilled, information from an adjacent well is most often used to make the appropriate selection. Two different types of drill bits exist: fixed cutter and roller cone. A fixed cutter bit is one ...

  8. Howard R. Hughes Sr. - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_R._Hughes_Sr.

    Hughes's two-cone rotary drill bit, nicknamed "rock eater", penetrated medium and hard rock with ten times the speed of any former bit, and its development revolutionized oil well drilling. [ 4 ] It is unlikely that he actually invented the two-cone roller bit, but his legal experience helped him in understanding that its patents were important ...

  9. Drill bit (well) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_(well)

    Drill bits are broadly classified into two main types according to their primary cutting mechanism. Rolling cutter bits drill largely by fracturing or crushing the formation with "tooth"-shaped cutting elements on two or more cone-shaped elements that roll across the face of the borehole as the bit is rotated.
