how does google maps works

Google maps is used by numerous people on daily basics while traveling as the navigation platform effectively predicts traffic and plots routes for them.

more than million kilometres may driven on daily basics in 220 countries.

How does google maps work.

• Google maps uses machine learning in combination with various data source including aggregate location data, historical traffic patterns, local government data, and real-time feedback from users, to predict traffic.
• google maps make use of Dijkstra's algorithm to find the shortest paths between nodes in a graph, which may represent road networks.
• google maps gets its images from satellite and aerial images in google Earth are taken by cameras on satellites and aircraft, which collect each image at a specific date and time. 
• Geo-spatial data visualization company and a real-time traffic analyzer, Google Maps was launched in February 2005. 
• Map maker was added to the american version of google Maps, allowing any viewer to edit and add changes to google maps. This provides Google with local map updates almost in real-time instead of waiting for digital map data companies to release more infrequent updates.
• Early versions of Google maps relied only on data from traffic sensors, most of which were installed by government transportation agencies or private companies that specialize in compiling traffic data. 
• using radar, active infrared or laser radar technology, the sensors are able to detect the size and speed of passing vehicles and then wirelessly transmit that information to a server.

Google maps uses an international connection to a GPS navigation system to provide turn by turn voice guided instructions on how to arrive at a given destination The application requires connection to internet data  and normally uses a GPS satellite connections to determine its location.

Data operation team staffed all over the world that plays a role in just about every aspect of map-making from gathering street view images and getting authoritative data sources to correcting the map for inaccuracies and training machine learning models.

Interesting facts about Google maps.

1. Google maps has over 20 petabytes of data, which is equal to approximately 21 million gigabytes, or around 20500 terabytes.
2. Google has worked with thousands of business owners in eight countries to bring street view technology inside buildings.
3. Google maps doesn't use much mobile data at all when navigating. most of google maps data use is incurred when initially searching for the destination.

Pull back toy

Toy is joyfully device found in everyone home where small kids are present.

If we pull wire connected to doll and leave it it will move,simple electronics is used to make beautiful toy.

If we pull wire wheels of dolls will get energy pulling energy converted into mechanical energy and its connected diode it will produce light.

Few things about pull back toy

• Toy has wind up mechanism inside pull it back and release it will move
• gears and spring is made used inside the toy
• Advantage of using this toys are no batteries required.
• Two gears are made used to move the toy
• Gear ratio : when large gear rotate once small gear which is connected rotate more than once.

Parts of pull toy

Gears connected to diode

A diode is connected to gear in the motor it will make diode to emit light, mechanical friction is used to generate light. 

A pull back toy is one of the most common toys available on the market. We pull it backwards and then let it go. it travels across almost the entire room before stopping . We pull it back just a few inches, but the distance traveled by the car is 8-12 feet. 

A pull back toy works on the general principle of Newtons Third Law of motion. every action has equal and opposite reaction. The toy car moves forward much further than it was pulled backward. This is possible because of the gears present inside the toy.

When the toy is pulled back, it winds up an internal coil spring by engaging the motor with a clutch. when the toy is released, the spring unwinds and propels the toy forward.

Energy is stored quickly during pullback but gets released slowly during forward motion . The Winding of spring is 10 times faster than when it unwinds. This is achieved with the help of two gear trains present.

Dolly With pull back gears

When we pull the wire and leave it will move forward while emitting light.

Electronics components

Electronic gadgets have become an integral part of our lives. They have made our lives more comfortable and convenient. we have many applications of electronics like aviation, medical and healthcare etc.

Most gadgets have tiny electronic circuit that can control machines and process information, electronic circuits are the lifeline of various electrical appliances.

There are 2 types of components 

Active components: Electronic component which supplies energy to the circuit.

common examples of active components include:

voltage sources

current sources

generators

all types of transistor.

Diodes.

Passive components : Components incapable of controlling current by means of electrical signal are called passive devices.

common examples of passive components include:

Resistors

capacitors

Inductors

Transformers

List of components

Resistor: oppose current and pass current directly proportion to voltage.

Capacitors : capacitors store and release electrical charge. It stores energy in electric field.

Diode : Conduct electricity easily in one direction, among more specific behaviors.

power sources

• Battery : acid or alkali based power supply.
• power supply : usually a main hook-up
• photovoltaic device : generates electricity from light.

Switch : A switch is an electrical component that can disconnect or connect the conducting path in an electrical circuit, interrupting the electric current or diverting it from one conductor to another

Inductors : An inductor is considered as passive element of circuit, because it can store energy in it as a magnetic field, and can deliver that energy to the circuit.

Semiconductor : Semiconductors are materials which have a conductivity between conductors and non conductors.

Integrated circuits : An integrated circuit refers to a special device that had all the components required in an electronic circuit. The component has diodes, transistors and other devices, all of which are etched on a tiny piece of silicon. The componrts are used in watches and computers.

Batteries : Bateeries convert chemical energy into electrical energy. two different cells of a battery are anode ( + ) and cathode (-).

Fuses : Fuses help preserve components from overloading with excessive current. A fuse consists of connection body, support, contacts, and metal-fuse material such as Zinc or copper.

Motors : Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. Key components include a rotor, stator, bearings, and eye bolt.

Circuit Breakers : As a protective device, a circuit breaker can be controlled with a remote switch. It is designed to protect the circuit from overloading or a short circuit.

Battery life

What is Battery

A battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections for powering electrical devices such as flashlights, mobile phones, and electrical cars.

when a battery is supplying electric power, its positive terminal is the cathode and its negative terminal is the anode.

Battery

How Battery works

A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy. The chemical reactions in a battery involve the flow of electrons from one material (electrode) to another through an external circuit. The flow of electrons provides an electric current that can be used to do work.

Rechargeable battery 

How to preserve more battery on mobile.

Battery 

Few methods:

• Battery saver mode: switch on battery saver mode which will help battery to stay for longer time.
  
• Background battery usage: Go to settings and choose which applications can use battery when your not using phone this will save battery unnecessarily used by application.
  
• Dark mode : choose dark mode so that all screen appears in dark.
• Always on mode: switch off this option will save more battery.

How to save battery life :

1. Do not charge overnight using fast charger, if we use fast charger more heat will be produced which may lead to damage of battery.
2. Use standard company charger and power bank.

Battery Facts.

Batteries work by providing continuous DC.The battery will work until all of the energy has been used up. If it rechargeable it can be used again. If it is not rechargeable then it is garbage.

The power in a battery is created by chemistry.

Rechargeable batteries are used in cars.

NiMH batteries are nickel metal hydride and are commonly used in portable electronics such as toys and portable home phones.

Batteries can come as wet cell or dry cell.

it is possible to use potatoes as source of battery power, although they are not capable of producing a lot of it.

Lemons can also be used to make power.
