Abstract

A method and a system suited for controlling the behavior of a drill bit includes an additional resistant torque added to the torque about the drill bit so that the overall torque about the drill bit is an increasing function of the rotary speed of the bit. The system includes control means suited for creating an additional resistant torque about the bit.
