Believe it or not i was a lineman, only worked on telephone poles tho, so the lineman in this video are bosses! I loved that job! It was tough and being up so high off the ground was kind of liberating!
These high Voltage workers are insane.. The set of balls they have must be huge.. I would be in a fetal position crying if I was up there. Their heart rates are probably 70 and thinking its another day, another $10,000... I hope they get paid huge amounts of money.
Rihanna and Bieber get paid millions. That guy hanging out of a helicopter changing the light bulb while hanging on the power lines should be paid the big bucks! Balls of steel, brother!
I would like to issue a correction to the lineman suit: it's not that the metal has a high conductance than the human flesh that keeps the worker safe, it's the fact that electricity runs on the outside surface of anything it goes through, thus creating a faraday cage. The human body conducts electricity much better than air, so if you miss part of the metal mesh, it would directly flow through the body.
6:53 A volt is not a unit of energy; it's a unit of potential. It's a measure of energy *per charge*. No charge, no energy. That's why the spark you get from walking across the carpet - which ranges from 2000 to 20,000 volts - doesn't do much harm: almost no current. (Current is moving charge.)
almost.. current isn't limited in any way during a static discharge, voltage potential is actually pulled down to almost zero instantly. Current is always a measurement of volts x resistance (ohms) and since your resistance is quite high and the voltage is pulled very quickly to zero as the gap (the potential) is closed quickly, almost no current flows.
At 0:43 you got that right, I HONESTLY use whiskey as a medicine when I get a sore throat, or get an upset stomach. I never drink it for fun, only losers drink alcohol for fun.
On average we pay 200,000 visits to one each year? How can that be possibly right? I don’t personally use the restroom 500 times a day. But he can’t be talking about the UK as a whole because there is way too many people for 200,000 to make sense. What does he mean? I guess 2,000 times a year makes more sense, but that’s still 5 times a day.
So many things wrong with the "Whisky" section I don't even know where to start... Plus as others have already said, yeah, voltage is not a measure of energy.
Arial linemen don't really make much considering the danger.. Only about $60k/yr. I MIGHT do it for double that. Consider an IT worker making the same for sitting at a keyboard from 9 to 5.
Potential electrical energy is measured in volts because it’s expressing how much electrical output it could perform hence “up to 3 million volts” its not the exact amount but an approximation it’s helps lessen confusion. You are correct that energy is not measured in volts but potential electrical energy is
@@jessejamesmoore1443 no, you are somewhat close with your "potential" in that volts are work done per charge displaced, but a volt is a joule per coulomb and not a joule. potential energy is still energy. the thing you are called about is called "electrical potential"
@@scottstewart5784 as for electrocution, it is the amperage that kills you. but given the resistance of human tissue, that does translate into a lethal level of voltage.
volt is not an amount of energy; a volt is a certain amount of energy per a certain amount of charge. It is because the latter is so small that we are not exploiting lightning as the tremendous power supply many people appear to think it is: there are lots of joules per coulomb, but because there are not many coulombs there, there is not a lot of joules either. remember: energy is in joules or calories or KWh.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"

The helicopter in this video was involved in a fatal accident while inspecting power lines in New York in 2012. Both the pilot and technician were killed. "Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate altitude while conducting a power line aerial observation flight, which resulted in an in-flight collision with wires."
A toilet is "the most essential part of the house?" um what about heating I live in Canada. If I didn't have a "loo" it walk to a store. Or outhouse. Having to pee real bad won't cause hypothermia.
Who remembers the day when documentary movies like this would get played before the main feature at the cinema? I never figured out why they did that...it's not as if they were getting any extra revenue from them.
Those high voltage workers and the helicopter pilot have mega balls. Just seeing the electricity and hearing it crackle, made me nervous 😭 edit: sweet lord, now he's walking the ropes like a tight rope. I almost passed out 😬😫
those are some funky looking toilets. You will not find any that look like those in the USA. We only have 1 hole in the bottom, not 2 sticking out the back.
How can you waste all the alcohol coming out of the barrel I can get drunk with the four next barrel waste danm I can't believe that they waste this much can you see that
The lineman that works from the helicopter, Is there a clanging sound when he walks? There must be from his balls of steel. He'd have to have those to be able to do that job!
Faster? Where did you get faster from? Lets say for an example you have 5 big buckets that you need filled up every day, and you have 5 automated robots to do it for you. But one day you need to fill 7 buckets, you can fill the two last buckets yourselfe, to make it more eficient, or wait for the robots to do it. Yes it is faster to help the robots, but it does not necesseraly make you faster than the robots.
I could probably fly the helicopter. but you'd be a fool to think that my fat ass would be navy seal crawling across a giant glorified Iphone charging cable.
Yeah, what's that about? I've timed myself, I can put something in the microwave for 1 minute and go to the bathroom and be back before it hits 30 seconds. My dad literally takes 20 minutes every morning
@@letsart6434 If the tissue box in the bathroom keeps diminishing in even seasons of the year we dont use tissues as often, guess what....he's doing more than just taking a deuce if you know what I mean.
The transition from high-voltage helicopter skills to toilets seems appropriate.
LOL

Helicopter can't fuel up completely to compensate for the weight of the giant brass balls of the lineman and the pilot
They also need to wear special suits to prevent the brass balls from absorbing the electrons and causing massive blackouts across the country.
I would black out merely from carrying such massive balls
Whatever they pay these "high voltage workers".... it ain't enough !!!
Watching him work is anxiety inducing
@@lilgremlin6222 really? I have a TBI and I get bad anxiety attacks too, I wonder if stuff I watch creates too much anxiety.
@@snowinblood5243 From my own experience watching news on worrying topics does seem to make my anxiety a little more likely to trigger. In moderation!
I looked it up and it's not a lot - like $80k.
Sorry hun that money goes to investors and marketing all hail our corporate overlords
Kudos to the line repair man and to the pilot as well, not all heroes wear capes :)
made me want a poop just watching him, my stomach turning, i could never do that job
Some wear diapers, apparently ;)
Watching that man repair the lines gave me bad anxiety
Evaporation doesn’t bring the whisky down to 40%, they dilute it to that with water. It will generally come out of the barrel at around 60%
Thank you. This. 🫡👆

lol they do get good pay but not that much.
Those helicopter pilots are not human. They are next level
That repairman on that helicopter has a lot of balls and courage just like the pilot..
Anyone else get queasy watching that guy on the power line?
No, but deffinatly made me uneasy.

Wait wait wait, there is a World Toilet Organization???? Why haven't I heard of this until now....
Maxwell Moore was job to olkoooipkl
Yes, Maxwell. Yes, there is. Started in 1917 and already close to 150 members worldwide! 🚽
First rule of World Toilet Organization is don’t talk about World Toilet Organization.
I'm SURE you have heard of the WTO!
It is the Democratic Party, DNC.
“The toilet chute” you say? So there really is a poop chute
Thank goodness the tools are strapped to the worker cause it would suck to get all the way up there and drop your stuff

Wow did not se that before.. those are thight..
Couldn't get over???
So you got off instead....

Seriously? 60k? That's it?? I figured minimum 100k-120k w/exceptional benefits.
The Real question is which is more dangerous? Falling, electrocution or a lard ass heart attack
@@dadillen5902 sitting is the new smoking.
Love theses videos so much! ❤
your sick!!!! I am too!
So why don't the power line guys bring a rope and rappel off the line? Seems cheaper and safer to me. BTW for video peeps. Volts are not Energy.
A nice 15yo single malt from the highlands. Blended is gross
