  • ty. they should pay per volt

  • They should pay those guys per volt.

  • nice, great example of facing your fears...double thumbs up

  • I got vertigo just watching the guys hop from helicopter to wire...

  • @evensteve284 The arcing is because of the difference in potential energy (voltage) between the line and the helicopter. The helicopter itself is made of metal, which means that all of its electrical charge is distributed strictly on the surface of the skin. The electronics of the helicopter are protected for the same reason the Faraday suit protects the line worker. Around electricity, the safest you'll ever be is if you are **completely** surrounded by conductor.

  • What is the arcing that we're seeing when the person in the Faraday Suit holds out the wand? And why doesn't it bother the instruments in the helicopter? If there's arcing, then somethings grounded right? I hope that there's no fumes present from fuel with all that arcing!

  • Why isn't your face protected? How having Faraday Suit protects your face from air polarization coming to your face?

  • Great stuff!!!!

  • great video.

  • i wanna work there
