Abstract
An example system includes a generator to generate electromagnetic (EM) signals, and a rotational device having multiple sides. The rotational device includes an antenna to direct the EM signals to a formation to increase a temperature of the formation from a first temperature to a second temperature. The antenna is on a first side of the multiple sides. A purging system is configured to apply a cooling agent to the formation to cause the temperature of the formation to decrease from the second temperature to a third temperature thereby creating fractures in the formation. The purging system is on a second side of the multiple sides.
