ABSTRACT
In this advance world where everything is connected together with the help of internet it has been trul y
said that internet has becomean inevitable part of human life. Continuous efforts have been made for better
connectivity and exclusive number of users to be increased day by day but still according to the survey done by
google 2/3 rd of earth’s total population is not having internet access.
This paper provides a more advance way of providing internet facility under the initiative taken by google
in the form of “GOOGLE LOON”. It is nothing but the technique of providing internet access through huge
balloons made up of polyethylene plastic about 3 mil or 0.076 mm (0.0030 in) thick, and stand 15 m (49 ft.)
across and 12 m (39 ft.) tall when fully inflated. A small box weighing 10 kg (22 lb) the box contents are nothing
but a transmitter and a receiver similar to the satellites that have been launched in the space. The difference is
nothing but the altitude at which it has been placed which is very inexpensive process as compared to the
conventional means. Also the flexibility allowed in the maintenance is distinctively ahead.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. INTRODUCTION
Many of us think of the Internet as a global community. But many of us lack the internet due to
inavilability of internet specially in the areas of villages in India which lacks the availability and connectivity to
many services in that area. Google Loon is a network of balloons that travels on the edge of space, modeled to
connect people in rural and areas. Google Loon balloons float in the stratosphere, doubled as high as airplanes and
the weather. They are carried around the Earth through 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 area using a special Internet
antenna attached to their building. The signal travells from balloon to balloon, then to the global Internet return on
Earth. This technique uses high-altitude balloons placed in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 20 km (12 mi) to
create an aerial wireless network with up to 3G-like speeds.
2.LITERATURE REVIEW
It provides the facility from no internet to the high speed internet for everyone as many of the Indian as well as the
small villages and the towns are unable to enjoy the benefits of the internet due to some or the other reasons. So it
decided to provide the technique of the internet through balloon to connect many areas by providing the internet.
This will become helpful to connect many areas hand will also help to s hare new ideas and techniques for the
development of countries. For this reason Google has launched the technique of Google Loon which was named as
PROJECT LOON.

3. PROPOSED WORK
Google Loon is technique with a mission of providing Internet to people living over rural and remote areas
by google. As the core object used in this project is balloons placed at high altitude of around 20 kms above the
earth so it’s called Project Loon.
The balloon envelopes are made by Raven Aerostar of polyethylene plastic about 3 mil or 0.076 mm
(0.0030 in) thick, and stand 15 m (49 ft.) across and 12 m (39 ft.) tall when fully inflated. A small box weighing 10
kg (22 lb) containing the balloon’s electronic equipment hangs und erneath the inflated envelope. This box have
contents like circuit boards that control the system, radio antennas which will communicate with other balloons and
with Internet antennae on the ground, and batteries for storing solar power so that the balloon s can operate in the
night as well. Each balloon’s electronics are powered by an array of solar panels that sit between the envelope and
the hardware. In full sun, these panels will produce 100 watts of power, that are sufficient to keep the unit running
while also charging a battery for use at night. A parachute attached to the top of the envelope allows for a controlled
descent landing when a balloon is ready to be taken out of service.

Fig-3 : Hardware
The balloon envelope is the name for the inflatable part of the balloon. Google Loon’s balloon
envelopes are made from sheets of polyethylene plastic and stand fifteen meters wide by twelve meters tall when
fully inflated. They are specially constructed for use in super pressure balloons, which are lon ger-lasting than
weather balloons because they can withstand higher pressure from the air inside when the balloons reach float
altitude. 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.

4. APPLICATION
1.
There is no interference as balloons are flying in the stratosphere above commercial air traffic and weather
events, at around 18-27 km or 60,000 - 90,000 feet.
2.
Project Loon is an attempt to deliver reliable connectivity to those areas where it does not exist or is
prohibitively expensive.
3.
The technique is using all the natural sources of energy as sun and wind.
5. ADVANTAGES
Everyone specially the peoples of towns and villages get the benefit of no internet to high speed internet
hence the connectivity between peoples get increased easily and they also get many facilities to be well developed
which can lead to the development of their own countries .
6. CONCLUSION
This revolutionary technique can bring internet to everyone on this planet irrespective of their location. It
can bring complete world to be linked together.And most important internet will be easily available to everyone
specially in ruler areas.
