Best answer

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Wireless Communication Technology

The correct answer is Wireless Communication Technology.

Balloon-powered Internet:
- 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 disasters.
How it exactly works?
- Project Loon balloons travel approximately 20 km above the Earth’s surface in the stratosphere.
- Winds in the stratosphere are stratified, and each layer of wind varies in speed and direction.
- Project Loon uses software algorithms to determine where its balloons need to go, then moves each one into a layer of wind blowing in the right direction.
- By moving with the wind, the balloons can be arranged to form one large communications network.

How is the Loon designed?
The inflatable part of the balloon is called a balloon envelope.
Each balloon’s electronics are powered by an array of solar panels.
The panels produce approximately 100 Watts of power in full sun, which is enough to keep Loon’s electronics running.
Project Loon is able to power itself using entirely renewable energy sources.
