Filling the sky with internet - balloons is one thing , but make the sky - blanket stable enough to keep the insurance coverage going is another . Individual balloons can be gently move into place by operate up and down to catch flow of air , but making the whole crew move as one thud is elusive .
For starters , Google is work out with simulation where each Loon balloon behaves and “ think ” like a normal bird in a normal flock . It observe an eye out for other floating neighbors and tries to space itself evenly between them .
But for the future , Google ’s also toying with a much more complex root where each balloon is n’t just looking out for itself , but also knows exactly what every other balloon is doing . That ’s right : It ’s a balloon hive - head .
It ’s go to be a while before Project Loon really start give off , but it ’s going to be an interesting ride all the manner there . [ Project LoonviaSlashgear ]
