Merge with Tunnel boring machine?
[edit]I'm not actually proposing this, and I haven't done anything toward creating a merge proposal (partly because I don't know how). But it's one obvious solution to the "orphan" problem mentioned at the top of the article. ACW (talk) 22:08, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
Atoms
[edit]The disadvantage listed, "Uses atoms" presumably should be "Uses atomic power." Almost everything uses atoms.
Additionally, further information on genuine research, patents and construction would be appropriate. Snezzy (talk) 18:30, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
Very high temperature reactor
[edit]A link to Very high temperature reactor might be appropriate. 98.127.104.89 (talk) 01:07, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
Fiction
[edit]Since the article mentions fictional subterrenes a few times, it would be nice to have a section listing examples of subterrenes in fiction. 2601:D:A00:7800:A958:48B8:D009:7EE3 (talk) 21:27, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- The first time I saw such a Vehicle was the 1987 TMNT Series:
- https://turtlepedia.fandom.com/wiki/Transport_Module
- & the 2003 TMNT Series had a similar vehicle:

- The second vehicle used an energy field instead of a metal drill, but it had wheels instead of treads.2603:7080:CB3F:5032:28B6:5031:A300:3E1F (talk) 21:23, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
Motion to remove references to soviet "Mole" (Krot) vehicle
[edit]Listed source is not reliable. It uses drawings of Trebelev's vehicle as illustrations, and the article itself is a conspiracy theory rant, talking about "alien races" inhabiting the center of the Earth, about how nazi scientists tried to contact them through portals, etc, and in general demonstrates extremely poor understanding of the topic (claiming that "[vehicle] had technical capability to drill all the way to the centre of the Earth", saying that because the vehicle was powered by a nuclear reactor the explosion, which was the result of a malfunction, was "obviously, a nuclear explosion", claiming the vehicle could carry significant numbers of troops and more). As if that wasn't enough, it also claims that the concept of a subterranean battleship was invented by a russian engineer in early 1900s and then stolen by nazis (!), and that Khrushev government financed the project of Krot, because they wanted to see a "soviet steel fist striking out from a White house lawn".
Needless to mention, absolutely no sources for those claims, no literature is provided, no names, nothing. It doesn't meet basic standards. I understand that the article is in russian, but anyone can read it with an online translator; I believe absurdity of the article cannot be lost in translation (I am a native speaker). It's a conspiracy theory rant about how aliens didn't let soviets drill into white house basement. 31.202.117.115 (talk) 03:37, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
Just have to comment on this lol
[edit]I love the phrasing “ which demonstrate the reality of the boring task” as it could be both the Tunnel Boring…or the far more underwhelming (and hence BORING) nature of the real life machines’ speed vs the fictional version!
(granted i love both).
Reading up on all these after watching a playthrough of “Mole” (which may be worth interlinking / if there’s an “in fiction” section etc) Eric Lotze (talk) 06:38, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
