Abstract
A hollow shaft drill bit () and a solid or hollow shaft auger (B) or a solid or perforated hollow shaft flexible screw feeder auger () includes a perforated hollow or solid shaft feeder auger (B) or flexible screw feeder auger hollow with perforations or solid (), a hollow shaft drilling auger (), a flexible conveyor flight screws (), a second perforated hollow shaft feeder auger (A), a PLC (C), an AI robot (), a computer (C), an encoder (B), limit switches (), a feeder auger tube conduit (A), and a feeder auger motor (B). The solid or perforated hollow shaft flexible screw feeder auger () is detachably attached to the hollow shaft drilling auger () to receive vibration and torque that are dampened by a coupling or disc coupling (B or) between a platform and a gearbox interface. The flexible conveyor flight screws () enable functions of the solid or a first perforated hollow shaft feeder auger (A) to continue despite receiving torque. The feeder auger tube conduit (A) includes a distinct tube (C) within a diameter of a feeder auger tube conduit (C). The feeder auger motor (B) upon receiving a signal from the AI robot (), the computer (C), and the PLC (C) enable the ascension of the feeder auger motor (B) in concert with the encoder (B) or limit switches ().
