Project loon

By
Although internet has become such a handy thing for people having access to internet that they roam about with it in their pockets, but this has been possible for those countries that can afford fibre optic cables for connectivity and therefore the bitter truth remains that nearly two-thirds of the world population do not yet have internet access. The Google[X] team has therefore taken an initiative to bridge this gap and make the world actually connected to one another by introducing Google’s Project Loon.

WHAT IS PRIOJECT LOON:

 “Google’s Project Loon” – a network of balloons travelling on the edge of space – is designed to connect people in rural and remote areas, helping fill coverage gaps, and bringing people back online after natural disasters. 
Project Loon balloons float in the stratosphere, twice as high as airplanes and the weather. 
They are carried around the Earth by winds and they can be steered by rising or descending to an altitude with winds moving in the desired direction. 
People connect to the balloon network using a special Internet antenna attached to their building. 
The signal bounces from balloon to balloon, then to the global Internet back on Earth. 

ENVELOPE:

Project Loon’s balloon envelopes are made of :-
 sheets of polyethylene plastic and stand fifteen meters wide by twelve meters tall when fully inflated. 
  A parachute attached to the top of the envelope allows for a controlled descent and landing whenever a balloon is ready to be taken out of service.
Each unit’s electronics are powered by an array of solar panels. These panels produce 100 Watts of power.

ITS MOVEMENT IN WIND:

Winds in the stratosphere  (10 to 60 km of altitude)are  steady and slow-moving  between 5 and 20 mph, and each layer of wind varies in direction. 
Project Loon uses software algorithms to determine where its balloons need to go.
ADVANTAGES:
This project will offer worldwide access to everyone those who are as per now beyond the geographic reach of  internet.
It  provides connectivity at speeds comparable to 3G for  about area of 40 km in diameter.
Wireless connection to the Web available for free to every person in the world.
 It would offer a humanitarian communication system

Google home vs amazon echo

By
This could deliver much more better sound quality than amazon echo. Google home is best if you need to get information from web whereas amazon echo is good if u need to get shopping information.google home also helps you to  keep track of your conservation. However it s WiFi integration is poor when compared to Amazon echo .google supports only 200 third party services whereas Alexa supports 1100 third party services.Even tough amazon echo support voice calling with a supported echo device or Alexa app whereas Google home enables you to call you to actual phone numbers directly if those contacts are available in your Google contacts.google home has multi user and multi home functionality.Google home let's user to switch accounts by just identifying  your voice whereas in Amazon echo you need to ask it to switch to an account x.Google home has synced audio play back to other devices which is still lacking in Amazon echo. Amazon echo has more fun abstract than Google home . ...

Wi-vi the wifi vision

By
ABSTRACT: A new technology known as  Wi-Vi is bouncing up with a good progress.It is similar Radar and Sonar imaging..it depends on radio signals  of wifi.I monitor movements of people in closed rooms or behind a wall. Wi-Vi was created by Dina Katabi ,a professor  in MIT,and her graduate student Fadel Adib. Wi-Vi technology can detect number of humans in a closed room. Enable communication through a wall without carrying a wireless device.Identify simple gestures from behind a wall. This Wi-Vi signals uses Wi-Fi signals,as Wi-Fi signals can penetrate through walls. Wi-Vi relies on a simple hardware of 2.GHz  Wi-Fi radios small enough to be portably used.Integrated in hand held devices.Low power Wi-Fi signals are used. A Wi-Vi system constitutes-  1.Two transmitting antennas 2.single receiver. This technology is based on principle of Rada and Sonar.Radar and Sonar works on Doppler effect. This technology uses reflected Wi-Fi signals...
