NOVELTY - The apparatus has a rotary mud pulse (MP) telemetry device (10) comprising a down hole drive motor (18) configured to be powered by a power supply (36) and a rotating actuator configured to be driven by the motor to modulate flow of drilling fluid (22) through a borehole (14) to encode information from a down hole location. The power supply and the motor are configured to cooperate to drive the rotating actuator with a torque of about 100 inch pounds for a pulse period of time. The supply and the motor are configured to cooperate to drive the actuator with a torque of about 200 inch pounds.    USE - MP telemetry apparatus for being positioned in a down hole of a bottom hole assembly (BHA) during a drilling operation in harsh environments for encoding and transmitting information detected and decoded at upper hole position during exploration for oil and gas and geothermal and subterranean resources and for providing high pulsed power to power a motor for modulating the flow of drilling fluid.    ADVANTAGE - The device can efficiently and reliably provide MP telemetry signals in a down hole environment, and ensures encoding and transmitting information to be detected and decoded in an effective manner. The device has low operating time consumption and low manufacturing cost, and reduces potentially hazardous for drilling applications and circulation defects when drilling fluid flows into geological formations without returning the fluid into a borehole of a well. The device can modulate the flow of the drilling fluid by causing the power supply and the drive motor to cooperate to drive the rotating actuator with a high torque level.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following:    (1) a MP telemetry kit    (2) a method for transmitting information from a drill string positioned at a down hole location in a bore hole to a surface location.
