i wathced this in 4k... and i can say the quality is as good as i remember it was back then

WOW!! Just WOW!! Thank you for the treat, TH-cam.

Here in Fairbanks Alaska conductor galloping is quite common during the winter months on lines between local power line poles, however I have never seen this on the longer range transmission lines. What I've always found interesting is that it's usually only a single line amongst the several lines between poles. I've even seen nodes formed in the galloping line suggesting a particular frequency. These galloping lines did not appear to be particularly ice or snow loaded.

7:23 meters? Red coat alert! Red flag 😂

Gertie was heard commenting "is that all?" [ towers and conductors can be engineered and configured to withstand those conditions . . . but nobody could afford to build a whole line of them for conditions that might occur every twenty years, or never ]

I love how you can see dark trails to the right of the letters. Clearly the cathode ray is slow to adjust after the white pixels, I never thought about that until now

Soo... wind?

Those are terrible conditions. God Bless those workers and our current (Pun, happenstance.) Utility Worker's.

Algorithm brings men of culture here today. Information is correct: Jolly Olde England indeed uses "miles" rather than "kilometers". Carry on my wayward sons. 😉

In the late eighties i worked for eve transmission dropping spacers and dampers etc off at each tower for the linesmen. They gave me a brand new landrover and ifor Williams trailer. Great times great lads 🙂

Can anybody describe what conductor galloping is? The film transfer is so bad you can't actually see it, which unfortunately makes this bit of history useless.

When I first looked at the galloping I thought they were in the American High Plains/Rockies. Poor design.

Their accent broke the TH-cam subtitle AI

WHY DO PYLONS LOOK SO SCARY!!??

Crazy algorithm 😂

1988 was a bad year for ice storms. We had one in North Carolina that took down a HUGE radio tower, crumbled it and it folded in half! Its a miracle those towers didnt come down!

I've noticed since the downfall of Mr b e ast youtube severing up more variety of content

Analog horror creators take notes

I wasn't aware that Britain had a "20 mile high altitude..." anything. Thanks for the info. Still, I watched 'til the end and enjoyed it. Horrible conditions there, but at least you don't have to warn people not to shoot the insulators as we have to do in the US.

This is Arnold Rimmer video If I've ever seen one 😂

No expense was spared bringing you this video, in the glorious unmatched fidelity of 240p. (To those with lower bandwidth, -- acceptable 144p is also available)

I saw this on the I-45 to Galveston bridge in the 1980's. Super strong ENE winds at 40-50mph. The sets of 3 phase conductors were swinging in opposite directions between towers. The surf was pumping! Yew!

I don't know why the algorithm put this video in my feed, but I won't pass on a good documentary. I guess the algorithm becaame sentient and is worried about it getting supplied with with power in the future - maintain your electrical grids, guys!

It's about ten days that TH-cam changed the algorithm. Captions are much more detailed, and I believe it is now able to "understand" the video's content - in this case, electrical engineering - and propose it to users who follow engineering channels...

This happened nearly 40 years ago on the other side of the Atlantic and I’m still not far enough away from it. Impressive to see guys getting so close.

This is a warning.. It's election season!

This in my recommendations I thought I was going to be watching a new analog horror

This happened at 20 miles in altitude, which is greater than 100,000 feet? No it didn't, who the hell wrote that?

It might be my age, but I found this strangely fascinating.

at this point algorithm just reads my mind

After watching through to the end I'm 💯 certain California is ready to end sales of gasoline cars and for everyone to have an EV car by 2040.

What a treat YT served me today!

wait a minute.... this actually happens to be a great movie! way better than all those gym bunnys in colorful tights and crazy costumes. here were real men, in real situations.... nature's fury.... megastructures theeatened! the electrified cables dying to break free and cause catastrophic havoc on the unsuspecting little ski community! ah gotta say...3 🍿🍿🍿, at least! 😀

I like seeing how modern society learns from its mistakes in airplane crashes, construction failures, building and house fires, scuba diving accidents, car crashes and the development of increasingly sophisticated safety features like the mandatory use of shoulder and lap belts and air bags in cars, mandatory smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in residential buildings, and the evolution of building codes through the decades.

Fascinating, thanks AVIP Limited & Agecrofts Training Resource Unit and thanks for sharing. It's heartening to see that this has gone viral, 38 years later. I wonder how they improved the design. I'll have a Google.

Propaganda, preparing you for the grid down scenario if you watch what AI is promoting you can tell what AI is getting ready to do

It's simple, there is too much tension on the lines. Any (string) musician can tell you that.

DO you have video of a ground fault sparking down the line and entering a home? I worked for an electric utility company and remember seeing a REALLY spookily scary video of one of these. Pretty dramatic.

To think we pay train drivers more than these line workers!

Can anyone point me to a video or series explaining why power transmission lines are not run underground? I'm sure here is a good reason, but I'd like to know the specifics...

So I suppose the next step is to go find a clip on vortex shedding

Fascinating - I'd never considered that the cables would have a resonant frequency (of course they do!) And I can understand now why the ceramic plates are fitted as individuals rather than as a single piece baffle - super interesting film thank you!!!

Lattices are very redundant, even with failures on major load points.

This video came up in my feed. Very interesting! Do they call it galloping because the wires move like the reigns to a team of galloping horses? Amazing video.

It’s a serious matter, but it seems like a Monty python script when viewed on TH-cam for some reason.

Why did the algorithm choose this now?

"She can not take the strain captain."

And people complain when there's a power outage and it can't be restored within a couple of hours! I wouldn't expect anyone to risk their life trying to get it all back up and running in these conditions! Much respect to the line men! Even just getting out there to check it is hazardous enough. We should all be grateful for the work they do and the dangers they expose themselves to in their normal working day!
