| | Dinner, Olympics, Balloons and Beards | | 2008-08-12 20:27:00 | | We had dinner out tonight. Bart had a coupon and it was kids eat free night. Of course, we only have two kids, the rest are adults, but I digress....When my food arrived, Leon said, "that's why you aren't in the Olympics." Even though I only planned to eat half of my sandwich apparently it was more than he thought I should eat. Then they brought HIS plate full of food -- which was twice the amount of food I had ordered. I asked him, "Why aren't YOU in the Olympics?" "I'm too young" he said, as if I was stupid not to know.Dominyk suggested maybe it was time for him to start shaving. He asked how you know. "When you have a lot of beard" Ricardo told him.The balloon guy was at the restaurant, so we got balloons and I took pictures. But Ricardo, as usual would not cooperate with my photography efforts. | | By: Never a Dull Moment | | |

| Sunhope Solar Balloons for anytime anywhere power | | 2008-04-11 15:03:19 | | Joseph Cory, of Geotectura has teamed up with Technion aerospace engineer Dr. Pini Gurfil to develop an array of helium-filled platforms constructed from a new fabric coated with photovoltaic solar cells. Dubbed Sunhope, the project is showing great promise as a low-cost deployable system that would harness solar energy while maintaining a minuscule environmental footprint. These solar balloons are as low-impact as power plants get, since their infrastructure is composed entirely of a control panel, a helium supply cable, and a power cable. Residential possibilities are great since one or two balloons can fulfill all the power requirements of a house. Cory and Gurfil have constructed several prototypes and have conducted research to show that a 10 ft balloon could provide around a kilowatt of energy (equivalent to 25 square meters of solar panels). The best part about this balloon is that it focuses on going vertical instead of the massive sprawl of going horizontal and making the land | | By: Unique Gift Idea | | |

| Balloons Full of Hydrogen and Possibility | | 2008-02-21 07:25:02 | | When I first read the article on the Wall Street Journal yesterday afternoon I immediately thought to myself "Wow, this would totally make sense." It's a logical move that couldn't come at a better time for the cellular industry. Google is on the verge of revolutionizing the cellular industry twice in the same year. First with Android and now with a potential contract with Space Data Corp.This is one of those cases where it should have been thought of a long time ago. By putting up roughly 330 balloons a day, they could blanket the country with radio signal and provide users with coast to coast coverage. By beaming down from 20 miles up, the signal would be free from interruptions typically caused by mountains, trees, water, etc. Imagine being able to use a cell phone out on the ocean! If this deal goes through, you'll not have to worry about the limitations caused by zoning restrictions. Depending on how the 700MHz auction falls out, there could be even more potential.

| | Google to Use Balloons for Wireless Signal? | | 2008-02-20 21:16:07 | | Here's a fun one to think about. What's cheaper than building a boat-load of cell towers to spread signal? How about putting balloons about 20 miles up in the sky? Somewhere between tower-based radios and satellite signals, a box can be attached to a 'space balloon' that has components acting as a radio tower. Signal could be sent out over thousands of square miles without the worry of mountains, trees, and ridiculously tall people. So why bring this up? Read on. Google is considering a contract with Space Data, a company that launches 10 balloons a day in the southern parts of the US. Helping truckers and oil companies stay in touch, one of their balloons could replace the need for 40 cell towers. And if a contract with them doesn't appear to be in the stars, perhaps Google will just outright buy them. According to one source, Google is pondering both options right now. And not surprisingly, neither company wanted to comment on the matter. Check back for more on this one, as | | By: AndroidGuys | | |
| | | Larry in the sky with balloons | | 2007-10-15 10:07:00 | | Larry Walters, colui che fece del viaggio un' opera d' arte.Californiano di San Pedro, aveva sempre desiderato volare, ma non era mai riuscito ad entrare nella Air Force degli Stati Uniti a causa di problemi alla vista.Cosicchè, come nei sogni di un bambino, a 33 anni costruì il suo velivolo: una sedia con legati intorno 45 palloncini ad elio colorati, che lo avrebbero spinto in alto. Lo nominò Inspiration I. Si adagiò sulla sedia e si dotò di un paracadute, una telecamera, panini, bibite e di una rivoltella, che avrebbe usato per sparare ai palloni in fase di atterraggio.E spiccò il volo alla volta di Long Beach, California. Era il 2 luglio 1982.Aveva calcolato di alzarsi fino ad un' altitudine di 30 metri. Sbagliò, e qualche ora dopo solcava i cieli a più di 4.800 metri d' altezza. Fu notato, con grande stupore, dal pilota di un aereo di linea che transitava da quelle parti, il quale avvertì subito la torre di controllo di un pazzo volante con una pistola in mano.Giunto sopra Long Beach iniziò a fare fuoco sui palloni, iniziando dolcemente la sua discesa. In fase di atterraggio alcuni dei palloni si impigliarono nei cavi della linea elettrica e causò il black-out della zona per 20 minuti. Ma ad attenderlo trovò gli agenti del Dipartimento di Polizia, e venne arrestato immediatamente per violazione degli atti dell' Aviazione Federale, avendo volato senza permesso, e per detenzione illegale di armi. Se la cavò in seguito con una multa di 1.500 dollari.Larry Walters moriva suicida il 6 ottobre 1993, a 44 anni.Non è mai troppo tardi per sognare... | | By: On The Rock | | |
