The Chinese Balloon: A Legacy of Loon?
February 14, 2023
Several of my monographs about the Google relied on text and link analysis of Google patent applications and patents. One of the patents was “Balloon Altitude Control Using Density Adjustment and or Volume Adjustment.” You may recall the Loon Balloon, a project to provide Internet access in locations where landlines or other delivery mechanisms were either not affordable, safe, or accessible due to an issue. (An “issue” could be a war, disease, or a populace with a leader who was un-Googley.)
What is the likelihood that China’s use of a Loon-like invention described in US9033274B2 coupled with some smart software has enabled the Middle Kingdom to enable global activities. Balloons can carry explosive devices, surveillance equipment, or electronics designed to screw up a range of electrical (wave) centric systems.
Probably just a random connection my brain generated. Probably nothing significant.
