Abstract

Foreliggende oppfinnelse vedrører et system (1-3) for sondering under en overflate for å fremskaffe informa- sjon om materialet under overflaten. Sonden omfatter et hus (2) og en anordning {!) for å oppvarme materialet deromkring. Varmen smelter det kringliggende materiale og gjør det mulig for sonden å bevege seg nedover. Son- den leverer informasjon til overflaten ved hjelp av en kabel eller en annen anordning (3, 21, 22, 30) for bæring av informasjon. Kabelen (3, 21, 22, 30) lagres på sonden og vikles ut i den takt sonden beveger seg nedover.The present invention relates to a system (1-3) for probing under a surface to provide information about the material below the surface. The probe comprises a housing (2) and a device (1) for heating the material therethrough. The heat melts the surrounding material and allows the probe to move downward. The probe delivers information to the surface by means of a cable or other device (3, 21, 22, 30) for carrying information. The cable (3, 21, 22, 30) is stored on the probe and unwound as the probe moves downward.
