In this video we assemble a DIY micro drill rig (tiny DC motor + drill bit + frame) and a submersible water pump, then test drilling a small “well” and pumping water through tubing. I explain the mechanism, torque limits, and 3 upgrades for better performance.
[pdf] Small oil drilling rigs are portable pressure control devices and excel in low-drilling-depth situations. Small oil drilling rigs can be divided into four major types—vertical drilling rigs, horizontal drilling rigs, directional drilling rigs, and offshore drilling rigs.
[pdf] But here is the silver lining: cheap, affordable geotechnical drilling rigs are plentiful and price with performance. In this buyer's guide, you will learn important considerations in choosing the best geotechnical rigs for small contractors and cost-effective soil testing strategies.
