I am floored by the precision those helicopter pilots are capable of, hovering so steadily next to those lines that the installer can get the equipment installed. The aircraft doesn't move more than a few inches in any direction while the installer is placing the equipment.
interesting and educational , I used to ponder about these things each time I noticed them on the power lines . I thought there were amperage level indicators and what's hot and what's not .
The lines are all live. It's okay as long as you don't bridge line-to-line or line-to-ground. Same concept as why pigeons don't die as soon as they land on an obviously live line. Also, these things aren't insulated. Kind of a trip, understanding that you can touch it as long as you aren't making contact with another phase or ground. However, a fall or failure of the helo/pilot will maim or kill. That's the more dangerous part of the job here.
is it wise to spend so much money just to accommodate a few super reach fat cats who fly private planes. All this increase cost of electricity for everybody.
So, these are only made for "fat cats". Wow. Who knew no one else flies planes close to power lines. Gee Poindexter, I'm glad you pointed that out. You really are pretty stupid aren't you.
No. It's NOT a "few super reach fat cats who fly private planes." Do more reading. There are over 160,000 private pilots in the USA. Getting licensed costs $10K to $20K. Many private pilots are upper middle class.

I just checked the website and that blue thing really is called a "flux capacitor". So awesome 😂👏
thats so cool! I want to know more about these "flux capacitors"!
@@KvetaURL Me, too. If only I had more TIME!
It's what makes time travel possible
Just like Back to the Future :)
Doc invented it
I am very impressed with this technology...I was lineman /troubleshooter for 44 years...This new stuff is awesome👌...

I saw a video like this in Facebook.
This job looks amazing. I just wonder how well it pays.
imagine being the helicopter pilot! holding that thing a foot away from the lines has to be pretty interesting to say the least
Did they for real call that blue thing a flux capacitor? 4:39
The pilot had to be careful not to fly too fast to prevent landing in 1955.
"marty where there going they dont need blinkers" Like nature fishing and no politics! like and sub to my channel

Very cool.... always wondered and now I know. Thank you!
WWOoww.. Ahora Entiendo para que eran esas bolas.... MUY BUEn VIDEO..!
Now I understand what those balls were ... VERY BEAUTIFUL VIDEO
Interesting! These guys have MUCH bigger balls than me!
Sad this got no likes. So there you go. : D
Why helicopter can' t take 2 or 3 balls?
Gee what happens if the guy drops the ball in mid flight?, oops lol, unless it has a safety harness or something.
How much does that helicopter pilot make in a year?
Interesting.
I thought a FLUX CAPACITOR was a made up thing....lol.😂 It's real! @4:39👍
I know!!
I came to the comments just to see if anyone else noticed he said a flux capacitor. I guess those are time traveling balls.
WOW, wonder how much this guy makes per hour??
wondering the same thing. highly specialized and dangerous work.
Flux capacitor 1.21 Gigawatts.
Coolest job in the world
So what happens during night time, than these lines become almost totally invisible to piliots. Cant recall i have ever seen those with the lights
Why didn't the guy on the platform use a ground clamp from the platform to the wire?
where do i apply. awesome
I mean do you have balls not in the mean way but it takes balls to do this well not big as cutting the power lines but still takes a little of balls
the yellow one when its in half it looks like a giant hard hat lol
1:34 and 2:00 - sweaty palms
how safe is it for the linemen? are the other lines live?

@@mchenj isn't the lineman grounded by the platform?
It’s a buzzard attack chopper
You GTA5 addict! (As am I LOL.)
Haha me too I was looking for this commeny
Look up little bird helicopter
Flux capacitor!
I know, I thought the same thing. :)
1.21 gigawatts
Uh...no...
FLUX COMPACITOR
2
Pls tell me quickly
They use them for:
1. Safety
2. To mark the power strength [I think]
3. To measure the lines
I love you all forever X's infinity and e=Mc2 but Almighty God loves you even more then that though..
Helicopter is not that stabile. This one is!!
w
Y use this ball pls tellme
I guess he like to play with balls :)

and when there plane hits the power line you won't have power at you home for awhile.

How do they keep from being electrocuted?
No path to ground.
@@pollyhorlander7389 oh...yeah. Electricity 101... :) Thanks. :)
