- 4. ABOUT • GOOGLE is an American Multinational corporation specializing in Internet- related services and products. These include online advertising technologies, search, cloud computing, and software. • Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University, California. • Most commonly used Google product Is google search engine and google map. • And now a days google is researching on a new project which is GOOGLE LOON. GOOGLE PRODUCTS: Google Search Engine Google Map Gmail Google + Google News
- 7. WHAT IS PROJECT LOON? • Project Loon is a network of balloons traveling on the edge of space, designed to connect people in rural and remote areas, help fill coverage gaps, and bring people back online after DISASTER. • The project uses high altitude balloons placed in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 32 km to create an aerial wireless network with up to 3G-like speeds.
- 8. HISTORY • In 2008, Google had considered contracting with or acquiring Space Data Corp., a company that sends balloons carrying small base stations about 32 km up in the air for providing connectivity to truckers and oil companies in the southern United States, but didn't do so. • This project was first trailed in California’s central valley. • On 16 June 2013, Google began a pilot experiment in New Zealand where about 30 balloons were launched in coordination with the civil aviation authority. About 50 local users in and around Christchurch and the Canterbury region tested connections to the aerial network using special antennas. After this initial trial, Google plans on sending up 300 balloons around the world at the 4th parallel south that would provide coverage to New Zealand, Australia, Chile, and Argentina. Google hopes to eventually have thousands of balloons flying in the stratosphere. • In May-June 2014 Google tested its balloon-powered internet access venture in Brazil, marking its first LTE(Long Term Evolution) experiments and launch near the equator.
- 11. SOLAR PANEL TECHNOLOGY Solar panels is about the size of a card table that are just below the free-flying balloons. It generate enough electricity in four hours to power the transmitter for a day and beam down the Internet signal to ground stations.
- 12. HOW LOON WORKS
- 15. HOW LOON IS DESIGNED • Loon consists of 3 components: ENVELOPE SOLAR PANELS ELECTRONICS
- 16. ENVELOPE • The inflatable part(Top) of the balloon is called a balloon envelope(as shown above). • A well-made balloon envelope is critical for allowing a balloon to last around 100 days in the stratosphere. • When a balloon is ready to be taken out of service, gas is released from the envelope to bring the balloon down to Earth in a controlled descent. • In the unlikely event that a balloon drops too quickly, a parachute attached to the top of the envelope is deployed.
- 17. SOLAR PANELS • Each balloon’s electronics are powered by an array of solar panels (as shown above). • The solar array is a flexible plastic laminate supported by a light-weight aluminium frame. • The array is divided into two sections facing in opposite directions, allowing us to capture energy in any orientation as the balloons spin slowly in the wind. • The solar panels provide 100 W energy to battery which is enough to move loon along the wind.
- 18. ELECTRONICS • A small box containing the balloon’s electronics hangs underneath the inflated envelope, like the basket carried by a hot air balloon. • This box contains circuit boards that control the system, radio antennas to communicate with other balloons and with Internet antennas on the ground, and lithium ion batteries to store solar power so the balloons can operate throughout the night.
- 19. HOW LOON CONNECTS • All balloons are connected to each other to communicate. • For balloon-to-balloon and balloon-to-ground communications, the balloons use antennas equipped with specialized radio frequency technology as shown in the fig.
- 20. CONCLUSION • This Google project seeks to bring Internet access to less-developed nations. • It will materially improve the quality of life for people living in those countries. • If successful, the technology is likely to dramatically increase internet usage in the developing world. • Its main aim is to provide high speed internet access to rural peoples.

Editor's Notes
- #2: A very Good Morning to all folks present in this Hall. I am Bishnu Shankar Pandey and he is Anshu kumar Giri. We are from Mahendra Engineering College pursuing BE Cse. Our topic for this presentation is Google Loon.
- #3: So these are the subtopics that we will talk about for the Next 5-10 mins. The subtopics project loon, its history, How it works and designed and how loons are connected. Whenever we try to think about Internet the first word that comes in our mind is…
- #8: Project Loon is a network of balloons traveling on the edge of space, designed to connect people in rural and remote areas, help fill coverage gaps, and bring people back online after DISASTER. The project uses high altitude balloons placed in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 32 km to create an aerial wireless network with up to 3G-like speeds.
- #13: So You all might be thinking how the balloons works
- #14: The Balloons are located in the Stratosphere i.e 10-60km above. It float in the stratosphere twice as high as airplanes as u can see here. Balloons uses the atmosphere wind as a medium. One balloon can stay for 100+ day in air.
- #15: Here we can see The balloons are arranged to form one large communications network. The people can use the network using special antenna attached to their building or device. The signal Bounces from Balloon to Balloon and the back to earth. Each balloon can provide connectivity to an area of about 40km diameter. It uses ISM bands for communication i.e from 2.4-5.8 GHz
