2016 's Google I/O Developer Conference is not only the code, Google has designed a lot of links, the huge balloons were floating in the corner of the Hall is a part. This balloon is a balloon project an example of Google, but Google at the time of manufacture to eat a lot of suffering.

Google balloon size is very big and, theoretically, could stay at an altitude of about 20,000 feet, balloon equipment range relies on solar panel power supply, it is equipped with antenna LTE coverage can reach 80 km.

You might worry about in case of strong winds blowing balloons do? Google believes can help by adjusting the height of the balloon a different wind direction to adjust the position of the atmosphere, the company has also designed the software for intelligent provisioning.

Google admitted that the balloon is made too difficult, in fact, the first batch of balloons floating in the sky exploded about 1 day.

Now many of these balloons in the sky "floating" around 100 days, the time, the balloon won't explode, but since the allocation of landing gear landed safely, so that equipment can be reused.

2016年的谷歌I/O开发者大会并不只有代码，谷歌还设计了很多环节，被飘在会场一角的巨大气球就是其中一环。这个气球是谷歌气球项目的一个实例，不过谷歌在制造时吃了不少苦头。

谷歌气球体型十分巨大，理论上可以在大概2万米的高空停留，气球上设备的续航依靠太阳能电池板供电，其配备的LTE天线覆盖范围能够达到80公里。

大家可能会担心万一大风来了都把气球吹跑了咋办？谷歌认为可以通过调整气球的高度来借助不同大气层的风向来调整位置，该公司为此还专门设计了相关软件进行智能调配。

谷歌承认，制作这些气球太难了，实际上，第一批气球在天上飘浮了1天左右就爆炸了。

现在这批气球能在天上“飘”100天左右，到了时间，气球可不会再爆炸了，而是通过自配的降落装置安全落地，这样设备可以重复使用。
