Mobile sensor networks

Distributed mobile sensor network would be run on android phones, and ran using the htc power to give open source android app.
If it was a very low power usage, then we could have it regularly grab data for collecting a lot of anonymous data that everyone would have access to.

  • Distributed weather sensor network; everyone's phone regularly returns the temperature, humidity, radiation - any interesting environmental data.
  • Signal strength for networks; map the signal strength for all mobile carriers to figure out what mobile network would be best for you.
  • You could make a commercial boinc project, taking payment and rewarding users for their participation in gridcoin for a SCiO sensor network (https://www.consumerphysics.com/).
    • Lets say you wanted everyone to scan something for research - oranges for example. You pay the project to distribute a work unit where everyone around the world goes and scans their nearest orange.. The customer gets in return for payment tens of thousands of scans of whatever they want. Project takes a small fee for hosting service, rest of payment goes to users.
    • With the above, you could distribute work units to find contaminated food products in geographical areas, or work out the pollution affecting food in areas.

Quake Catcher Network: http://quakecatcher.net/

Radiation@Home was not added to the whitelist in the past due to geigercounters being unavailable for the team.

QCN was previously not whitelisted due to GEO-location privacy concerns.

Both could be added to the whitelist in the future.

Anyone know of a good weather kit that could be used? Something open source, cheap and available?
