Google announces Cloud Internet Of Things public beta

By
Today Google is officially announcing and launching public beta of the Cloud Internet Of Things Service. This  is a Google scale service, designed for very large, reliable  global IOT deployments millions of devices. Since the private alpha launch, industries such as transportation, oil and gas, utilities, healthcare and ride-sharing have used the service and provided insightful feedback.

I am personally working on this project, proud to be a member of this exceptionally talented infrastructure team.

See the Google blog post and see the Google IOT Core Developer home.  There are lots of great samples to get you started for MQTT and HTTP protocols.

Your data can easily connect to Google's Cloud platforms such as Machine Learning for predictive maintenance analytics, BigQuery for rich analysis, and Analytics for real-time monitoring of the fleet of machines.

  • Utilities can monitor, analyze and predict consumer energy usage in real time
  • Transportation and logistics firms can proactively stage the right vehicles/vessels/aircraft in the right places at the right times
  • Oil and gas and manufacturing companies can enable intelligent scheduling of equipment maintenance to maximize production and minimize downtime"
For smaller project,s it is completely free (up to 250MB/month exchanged)

Pricing 

We are also introducing a simple pricing plan based on the volume of data exchanged with Cloud IoT Core. You can register as many IoT devices as you want, and you pay only when the devices connect to and exchange data with Cloud IoT Core. To make it simple to build quick prototypes with just a few devices, we have added a free tier that lets you try the service at no cost.

Why a SR22 leaseback is the worst financial decision an airplane owner can make

By
Airplane leaseback seem like a really good idea - your airplane becomes a business, generates income, which pays for maintenance, insurance, storage, and might even put a few bucks in your pocket. You'll hear this from flight schools, FBOs, airplane brokers and airplane manufacturers. The proposal I received for leaseback on my own plane looked very good, $72,000 income per year! The ugly truth is you leasebacks are a terrible financial decision. You're better off to park your plane in a hangar and not fly it at all. This was the proposal I received: Profit calculation for G2 SR22 in KFRG $300/hr rental rate -20% management fee $60 $240/hr income 300 hrs flown = $72,000 income per year First, there are some baseline increases due to more expensive commercial insurance and higher cost tiedown and required maintenance. These numbers are for an SR22 that was to be based out of KFRG. Annual fixed-cost increases to go to the flight school Flight sch...

How to configure engine power 55%, 65%, 75% on Piper Archer / Piper Cherokee

By
Most pilots, even CFIs, don't understand how to properly configure engine for various altitudes on a simple Piper Archer. The advice of "full rich below 3000" is simply wrong. Below is a simplified procedure based on the POH. It will ensure better performance, longer range, and longer engine life. The advice of "lean until running rough, then add some" is better, but still imprecise.  First, see POH section 4.27 CRUISING on how to configure engine. Simplified procedures Climb Mixture, throttle full forward Note the EGT temperature just after takeoff As you climb EGT will drop (too rich). Every 500 or 1000', lean mixture slightly to raise EGT back to the temperature you noted on takeoff.  DO NOT allow temperature to get higher than this! At 6000' lean much more to get peak EGT. Note the temperature. Every 600 or 1000' above 6000' are-lean mixture to get back to peak EGT. Best Power Cruise (fly fast): Mixture, th...
