Claim One:
1. A system [ 200 ] for modeling the energy of an energetic fluid pulsejet boring system comprising: a. a plurality of interconnected computing devices; b. a fluid flow energy computing unit [ 251 ] for receiving an indication of fluid volume and mission duration and for calculating fluid flow energy from its inputs; c. an exhaust and retention energy (“EARE”) computing unit [ 253 ] for receiving an indication of exhaust gas volume and mission duration as inputs and for calculating exhaust and retention energy from its inputs, d. a comminuting energy computing unit [ 255 ] for receiving an indication of hole diameter and specific energy of rock intended to be bored as inputs, and calculating comminuting energy from its inputs, e. a total energy computing unit [ 257 ] for receiving the fluid flow energy from the fluid flow energy unit [ 251 ], the exhaust and retention energy from the EARE unit, [ 253 ], and the comminuting energy from the comminuting energy unit [ 255 ], to calculate an estimate of total energy of said energetic boring system.
