- 131 tonne reactor being sent to National grid in Melksham Wiltshire from Avonmouth Docks. We arrive just in time to see it arrive on a lorry with Police escort.
Armed cops are called due to using the drone over the Substation..
Police with common sense, becoming a rare thing now, they were polite. 🚔
Would they have been if not being videod?
Polite yes, but constant fishing to somebody who they know is doing nothing wrong. They could have had a quick chat then moved on, but no.
Yes it’s their training. Be polite and friendly, ask questions, tell people you’re a nice person, ask questions, crack jokes, ask questions, smile a bit, ask questions, detain or arrest on a good day, let him go on a bad day. Trust the police? I did once
No comment mate
@@Chunky246 but how do they know for sure someones not doing something wrong? id rather they were sure.
That traffic cop. So polite and friendly. Refreshing
I sussed the cop possibly using his body-worn camera to spy on your operator ID way before you mentioned it. Just remember they are not your friends and will always try to ID you if at all possible.
Kept going to his rear door to jot afew more drone numbers down. Crafty as fk. I wouldn’t trust him. Why all the police presence if they weren’t after something. Was the donut shop shut?
NEED that name crack!! Lol
Sneaky piggy
You are right but you can see he covered a good portion of it with his fingers.
Always put the I.D. underneath, so when it's just sitting there, they can't see it. He was probably typing it into a laptop or writing it down, the three times he looked at it, the second and third times he caught it on his bodyworn for sure! Shut the door when he had it, so you couldn't see it as well.
As an FPV pilot, I’m really passionate about drones, and even though the things you are doing may be legal, pushing these boundaries and annoying people are what will ultimately kill this hobby, I wouldn’t ever imagine flying the places you do. Doesn’t give me hope for how regulated all this will be in the near future.
I am too and I totally agree.
He doesn’t care about you or anybody else, this channel is run as a business.
So people’s feelings are more important than laws ?
He can still observe fence boundaries, and beyond that is a matter for a zoom lens.
@@lordsnot2268 Why would you do that?
As a fairly old man, the amount of stuff I wish I or others had documented for posterity is endless, and the drone footage is amazing, in 20 or 30 years time I guarantee it will provoke talking points, I don't understand how that can be a bad thing.
It will be great... but they probably don't want evidence in how they are changing the landscape and all the things that can be spotted from the air ... I love watching the view from above
It's just robotic jobsworths basically.
It a birds eye view. I'm 57 years old mate I didn't have anything like this when I was a kid I'm going back in time I've got 1 now and looking forward to flying it this year
What you called the cab is the whole power unit.......
These officers were humble, acknowledged when they lacked knowledge, and were likeable. I wish people who HATE all coppers could see this video. I also wish (some) more senior police officers in other audit videos could watch it and maybe learn something.
Both those coppers are a credit to the force. Nice to see some decent ones for a change
It's a small transformer. Back in the day, I lived near Hawker Sidley in North East London, and the transformers that came out of that place were the size of houses and were transported using 90-wheeler push and pull lorrys.
Nice change to see Police acting with some common sense and no over-inflated sense of ego, unlike so many other interactions
Was OK actually yes
@@DJEMEDIA Hi, Just watching "ROBBERY of my phone".
Perhaps since aware, however there's possibly a setting in your phone, or an app available, that requires a password, to "are you sure you wish to delete this?", even when phone is unlocked.
Alternate, something that uploads to cloud while recording, or live stream.
@@DJEMEDIA Also - long story short to consider if similarly chased in future.
Road rage, being chased, braked enuf to get rear impact evidence, made sure I drove past security cameras.
Guessing in your case there were cameras along the motorway.
@@DJEMEDIAPlease look into this.
I read that Scotland abolished juries.
I also read that Rishi Sunak is abolishing our constituting in England and Wales. In other words, our commonlaw natural rights and freedoms. Because too few have taken the time to research and learn about it, including some legal professionals, not enough are prepared to stop him and his mob doing so. We will have no right to insist on being heard under the law of the land instead of their unlawful on the land laws of the sea, pirate/admiralty laws.
@@DJEMEDIA All Audit channels push the same agendas and are all controlled opposition agents. Also there are no nuclear reactors.. NEW CLEAR energy comes from the movement of water and steam through multiple large turbines.. It's NEW and it's CLEAR it's WATER.. The 'Reactor' will in fact be a Hydro Turbine. You know this and I know this.
They're called reactors, but they're effectively just big coils of wire inside - they're used to restrict fault current on the network using magnetic impedance. Usually, the bigger the fault, the higher the current flowing, but with these on the network, as the load rises, so does the push-back to prevent it from flowing, they automatically and transparently (to the network) prevent dangerous fault currents.
@@kh125250dxdon't look at laser with remaining eye (wrong lenz)
@@kh125250dxI'm curious how close my post was to accurate, it was how I understood it, but never worked on them directly (I played with 11kv and 33kv switches 35 years ago :-} )
Actually for power factor correction, but your answer is close enough for the folks who, unlike myself, are just not into electrical engineering pedantry. 🤣
@@patricklockerby4308 as far as I'm aware they don't have any capacitance in a reactor, there are separate PFC units for that, like at the JohnsonPhillips website, but I only did HV/EHV substation work on the distribution side of the network
I did wonder why they would put a nuclear reactor in a substation. Now it makes more sense. Thanks.
That's one of the reasons why I keep my Operator ID in the battery compartment of my Mini 2.
mines on the side body covered up when the rotor arms are folded.
so im from New Zealand and honestly that was so wholesome them police officers where absolutely awesome lads kind respectful and all round good lads aye
Coppers were spot on in is video and so was DJE. Resect to the parts.
Cheers mate 👍
Some years ago the Home Office regularised all private police forces. These included British Transport police, Civil Nuclear Constabulary, MOD police, Mersey Tunnels police, Peel Holdings (port of Liverpool/Manchester Ship canal etc) Port of Bristol police and a few others. They all now have to meet the national basic police standards in addition to their own bye-laws.
It is nice seeing polite cops for a change.
If it is a dangerous area there would be a no fly restriction in place.
Exactly
Maybe, however up until it is you can fly a drone like this. You cannot ply the law prior to the law being in existence.
Police were understanding on the laws on drones so that made it an interesting video
Cracking video. That’s a thing the majority of people never think about never mind see. I lived beside a train repair yard growing up, seeing lorry’s with full a train carriage loaded on the back is something else. That’s some serious amount of steel in this video
The restricted airspace (red zone) nearby is for Camilla's house - Ray Mill House.
Police with intelligence and common sence . Very nice . Top Mark's for them . 😊
Notice his first words were your not flying it over here .
When changed he knew his bluff wasn't working so changed his directives slightly.
He says the drone can't fly over top of the power station when it's legally there's now law stopping him .
i liked when local news showed up with no camera, no pen and no paper,
and then asked if they could copy your homework👍
Not a nuclear reactor but a transformer, that is what goes into sub stations⚡
I know that cop that was having a good chat with you, such a nice lad even play football on a su day with him
that thing was huge! amazing how they move the super heavy items. great video, a little bit of everything
Maybe I am just getting too old but I found this to be exciting and informative and completely enjoyed the interactions. Thank you DJ, I subscribed.
Those vehicles looked like toys from Thunderbirds , brilliant, very cool 😎
Very nice and good coppers all of them. Well done lads
The crane doesn't lift the reactor. For the final position a track is laid down from the trailer to the pads. The hydraulic jacks lift the reactor at four points you can see the jacking points on the sides with the red and white tape around them. After the trailer is removed, more track is laid down underneath along with the sleds and the jacks lower the reactor onto the sleds. It is then pushed along the track to its final position, where the jacks then lift it again and all the track is removed so the reactor can be lowered down onto the concrete pads. Took us about 3 days to move a 350T generator from lorry to final position. Moving along the tracks usually takes 1 to 2 hours, the rest of the time is the set up and positioning of the tracks and jacks.
The problem with flying directly over open air switchgear is that drone falling could come down and breach the safety zone around an insulator. This would be very dangerous for anyone in the switchyard at the time, along with the the disruption to national electricity supply. That is the main reason they don't want you flying around the yard whilst they are in there.
Drone assist is not the law and is not endorsed by the CAA. It is always the responsibility of the drone pilot to ensure safety. Under Schedule 9 of the Air Traffic Management and Unmanned Aircraft Act 2021 the Police do have the power to check that the Operator ID is legitimate. At the moment for a sub 250g drone they only have the power to obtain the name of UAS Operator and not the remote pilot, although there is a catch all of 'any further information the constable considers reasonable'. Nothing in Schedule 9 requires an offence to be committed or suspicion of one, that is Schedule 8.
Drone assist is endorsed by the CAA it is endorsed on the CAA web site!! So what else in your post is b@llocks?
Every question has a purpose and it’s not to be friendly. Don’t forget that.
@@Ubique2927 Yes, Drone Assist along with other Apps and manufacturer's software is listed on the CAA website. However, to quote the paragraphs on the CAA website directly above that list;
'As a regulator, the CAA supports any measure to improve the safe use of drones but does not endorse individual products.
The CAA has not checked or approved the apps listed here. Full responsibility for safe operation remains with the person operating the drone. It is up to them to assure themselves of the accuracy of the data and comply with all UK drone rules and regulations.'
So when a drone pilot states that the likes of Drone Assist gives them the legal right to fly over an area because it shows there is no exclusion zone, they are mistaken. Drone assist can form part of a risk assessment to determine if a flight path is safe and legal, but there can be other factors that may make the flight unsafe and hence illegal.
National Grid, the owner and operator of 400 kV and 275 kV substations will have a documented risk assessment for carrying out flight over and around their substations and infrastructure, by both themselves and members of public. They have come to the conclusion that such a flight will be an unacceptable safety and business risk to them. They can and do have mitigating factors in place to allow their own engineers to fly drones, but not for the public. Given the fact that there were engineers working within the substation at the time, that would likely compound the severity of the outcome by introducing the potential for injury to persons.
They have therefore placed signage around, easily within view to prohibit drone flights directly above their substations. If it ever came down to a decision in a court of law, it is likely that a risk assessment carried out by a specialist engineer would overrule the lack of an exclusion zone in a piece of software relied upon by a member of the public.
@@ExodusX13 Yes I do, I also realise that there are other factors involved in whether or not a drone flight over specific areas can be conducted safely and legally.
Not a "reactor" in the nuclear sense so no special hazard at all!
The police officer in the volvo is great very rare to see in the police graduates nowadays good cop
What a palaver over a little machine that's being flown with legality and care. It's mainly down to a dislike of a camera.
Security and safety is more important than your right to fly a toy.
@@foxman1546 Couldn't agree more. In this case the video proves that the reaction toward security and safety were practically non- existant, apart from other peoples' vivid imaginations. Jobsworthy-ness of the highest calibre.
High voltage substations and cables are extremely unfunny things to mess up on and the outcomes are usually expensive. A million pound drone insurance sounds a lot, but it is not, and the policy would not be valid anyway as you ignored the signs 😉
It's more like a fear. When cameras were first invented, some people thought a picture could take your soul. And it adds ten pounds apparently.
@@robba1234 Signs that have no legal validity? The CAA puts a yellow warning on certain areas; if things were so bad it would action a ban...it doesn't.
Great video as always, really good interaction with all parties concerned.
We have a copper that takes part in the local pub quiz team, every time he opens his mouth he makes you feel like your under caution! 😂😂😂
"Just a friendly chat" right, we are all going to believe that one !
I get that, but it's a two way street - last thing we want is end up like the US...
And like anything, there's likely a city vs. country cop divide. 🤷♂️
The "Driver" at 18 minutes "you might not want to do that" and talking of 20 armed police! He's an escort driver, how come they all turn into James Bond, 😂
I thought it said "Royal Shit" on the front of the lorry when it arrived :-D
Not sure where the reactor bit comes from , it's a transformer , apologies if that's already been pointed out ...
Police Officer was decent tbo.
Great video really enjoyed that one and it was nice to see happy polite police officers 👍👍😎😎 hope you have a great holiday dude 👍👍😎😎
A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing even if it’s presented in a confident manner, it’s still bollox 🤪🏴
My little comment was aimed at the many individuals you meet in these situations who claim to know a little about drones which as I said is usually bollox.
As a proud Welshman & tend to sign off my replies with the flag 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
wow first guy is an actual normal person, they still exist🥳
About time you had a drone, some great footage well done.
“There’s another police unit coming? Yeah yeah, there’s another one coming”, because we have nothing else to do, there’s not much crime about and of course we are always so short of resources. 😂😂😂😂
I think that you meant to say transformer. This is not a nuclear reactor!
They're called reactors, but they're effectively just big coils of wire inside - they're used to restrict fault current on the network using magnetic impedance.

That was kewl you said you would share photos with the local reporter who came up. Very generous you.
As a construction worker who gets to work on some pretty cool projects, having a video of some of them would be awesome.

There is no weight limit on the bridge. The road has a 7.5t limit and on the sign it says except for access so anything that is accessing somewhere in or through the restrictions is allowed no matter what the weight !!
I cannot see it taking. 140 tonne plus.
@@DJEMEDIA I've not got as far as seeing the bridge or the truck carrying the transformer (not reactor) but surely you don't think the whole weight is on one axle, silly billy.
- weight restrictions can be imposed for two different reasons - physical where the infrastructure is weak and the other is "environmental" where it is considered undesirable to have heavy traffic on certain roads.
@@pedantik if it was specific for the bridge the sign would not have except for access underneath the restrictions
@@crazyedits50 - did I mention the bridge ? No, I did not, clearly you did not read my comment properly.
I was simply explaining to people that there are two types/reasons for weight limits - many people are actually unaware of this.
Cannot understand all the hassle, it is a "Shunt Reactor" NOT a Nuclear Reactor, basically an electric/power conditioner that soothes, adjusts and compensates for long pylon runs etc.
Great interaction, I think there are several levels of policeman ranging from Grunts, (bullies, ignorant of the law and dont care) to average police, detectives, (ignorant of day to day policing but interrogation and manipulation practiced in lying and sounding like they care (about winning a conviction) and some like this lot know the laws, try and persuade "compliance" but know enough that (at least on camera) no laws broken, no need to be belligerent or nasty, and generally respect their limits
Bozo's always telling people what they can & can't do, when they don't actually know themselves.
@42:20 "My Drone knowledge is not huge"
@44:35 "We're not here to criminalise, more Educate" Who's educating who 🤔
TBH This is the most interesting video you have done since your NB case. The conversation with road traffic officer was really good and informative. Still dont know why the reactor is such a big deal though?
Thanks.. it was pretty cool-!
It's a transformer not a reactor lol they are carried all over public roads openly. Utter waste of police use.
Trying to educate someone on laws they obviously don't know 100%.
Terrific video DJR..really enjoyed it as usual 😊
That’s quite near MOD Corsham so that’s probably what the red circle is. It’s supposedly where they keep all their computer stuff and also where the Burlington bunker and war rooms are. A great write up on the urban explorer’s website.
The only thing i would worry about is the radio frequency crossing if they use wireless controllers for their winches.
The government has laws wrt frequency use. If there’s a problem it’s the winch hardware fault.
The main issue is that the electro-magnetic field from the substation / pylons affects the operation of the drone compass and can confuse it. There are many factors that affect it though such as the type of drone, load on the Grid etc.
Bluetooth used select frequencies decided at the time of connection.
@@three-phase562 You know more about electrical grid than drones. Drone does not rely solely on compass. There are backups.
The beanstalk was a legend 👍
Enjoy your holiday fella
I don't see why you needed to fly over the compound, just stay outside the boundary and everyone is happy. I certainly wouldn't trust an app for legal advice.
That corner no problem for a decent trucker like me 😂
How can you be so ok with driving a drone over a national secure zone? Don't you have any air clearance from anything?
Well what a breath of fresh air, Police Officers who are polite and prepared to have a decent chat also listen and learn. What a change from the usual Ego Bullying Coppers. great video.
Yes it made a change
No way bro wtf that’s where I grew up, I’m there atm I wish I went to wait for it!!! Haha
More like a transformer .
Half a transformer 👍😃
cab has 14 tyres on, trailer has 40 I counted, Allelys are based in Redditch Worcestershire
Great footage m8 & interesting as well good work DJE 💯👍🏻
It's cool to see a modern electronic sub-station transformer being delivered, shame ya couldn't get the install. So the crane would be to load and unload the hydraulic gear and load unload the specialist dolly's for moving the tranny.. the smaller dolly will probably be loaded with the hydraulic gear to make it portable within confined spaces that the crane cant operate.
Saying "In the middle of nowhere" while showing towns all around is hilarious!
I wonder if the sticker puts the drone over 250g. If the dgi is 249g then the sticker will probably just put it over
Even though they are marked 249g these mini drones usually weigh less coming in at around 242-243g, at least the DJI Mini 2 does.
Carbon Fibre sticker, all good ☺
I never knew Harry Maguire was in the force, Fair play.
Interesting video.
I understand the original M20 motorway bridge over the River Medway was constructed to above normal motorway specs to allow the reactors for Dungeness Nuclear Power Station to be transported there.
This bridge was also critical in the cold war for transporting British and American tanks to Dover and the continent if the 3rd World War had started in Germany. It was certainly on the Soviet bomber target list.
There was a Thunderbirds episode based here when the bridge was converted into the Allington Suspension Bridge and a space rocket fell into the river when the bridge collapsed. Meanwhile FAB1 shot up the nearby Forstall Road Industrial Estate to create a diversion.
When they say F.A.B on thunderbirds what does it mean?
Love how he said he's just having a friendly conversation with you and then proceeds to try and memorise the drone ID number, asks you questions about height restrictions etc, making out he doesn't know the answers and then proceeds to tell you all there is to know about your drone. 😂
He was supposed to be the drone expert as well. The first traffic officer stated that before he turned up. He only let on at the end that he had drone experience, when he was asking about the magnetic field, etc.
He got your number from drone what do you think he was doing in back of car
Course he did lol
All I have to say is drone flying requires common sense and understanding that it is a very wildy different method of surveillance and technology. Just because an app says an area isn't prohibited doesn't mean that it isn't. If a site has a sign saying no drone zone then you would reasonably prevent flying into the perimeter. Remember, it isn't just about safety, it is also about privacy and property owner's rights. If someone doesn't want you flying over their propery then you adhere to that. Especially when someone is trying to do their job, don't interrupt them and don't make their job harder than it needs to be.
Morning DJE Media, what an interesting Audit with loads learnt so please keep them coming GL&HF coming from Dulwich London England(✌peace✌)
always remember..the polic are never your friend!!!
Until u need one..remember that
Don't be distracted while flying a drone, which you clearly are by conversing with site personnel.
Good interaction for once. Cops are a credit to the force.
Don't worry, they'll be drummed-out soon enough... 😒
How did he know? His anonymous shady friends in that darknet chatgroup told him. I wonder what they would say to that answer?
What on earth are you talking about haha
"Gapped Core is generally used in shunt reactor - constructed from Cold Rolled Grain Oriented Silicon Steel sheet to reduce hysteresis losses. The sheets are laminated to reduce eddy current losses. Gaps are intentionally provided in the construction by placing spacers of high modulus of electricity between the packets of laminations. Normally the gaps are maintained radially. The laminations are placed in each packet in longitudinal directions. Normally, 5 limb 3 phase structure of core is used. It is shell type construction. The yokes and side limbs are not gapped but the three inner limbs for individual phase is constructed with radial gaps as shown. There is nothing special about winding of a reactor. This is mainly made of copper conductors. The conductors are paper insulated. Insulated spacers are provided between turns to maintain the path for oil circulation. This arrangement helps for efficient cooling of the winding. Normally a shunt reactor deals with low current that is why ONAN (Oil Natural Air Natural) cooling is sufficient for shunt reactor even for extra high voltage ratings. The radiator bank is connected with main tank to facilitate faster cooling."
I understand all the words,,,,
great material - good find.
Bit confused why a 'reactor' would be delivered to a substation, I can absolutely see a large transformer or capacitor being delivered to a substation, but it makes no sense that a reactor would be delivered to a substation. A substation is basically a switch, it takes the 275/132kv and splits/drops it down to something a bit more manageable by the smaller substations that power your homes. Reactors produce energy, substations only switch energy. That being said, you did get your drone pretty close to those high voltage lines and if I worked at this substation I would be wary too if you got that close.
That weight limit isn’t a weight limit on the bridge… it says except for access. There’s every chance that the bridge can take the weight ! IF IT WAS FOR THE BRIDGE it would say 7.5 ton MGW. It would also say “WEEK BRIDGE 7.5t MGW” but that one says “7.5t EXCEPT FOR ACCESS”. That doesn’t mean the infrastructure carnt handle it it just says you are not to do it without good reason. A bridge/tunnel height sign dose not necessarily display the hight of the bridge/tunnel but the restriction placed upto vehicles using that bridge/tunnel.
The drone camera is mightier than the reactor which is literally just a large kettle for boiling water
It's not a 7.5 ton weight limit on the bridge. It's a prohibition of any vehicle over 7.5 tons on that road. Every other urban road in my city carries the same sign.
Electric reactor spotter hobbyist, that's a new one 😂😂 Thinking of maybe getting one of those Minis now, like the copper said, there's money to be made in the private sector
I had to look twice at the sign on the side of the reactor. Kept reading Royal S**t !! 😃
Confused as to why a shunt reactor delivery is such an event 🤣
Police respectful- and not on a power bender, if all police were like this would be so much easier! Ps CAA have just published a new consultation on adjustments to drone rules… worth checking out , get a class 2 allows even more freedom ;)
this was a good one buddy....love your vlogs.
Well done audit and police ..
Cheers
This made me think of the travis heinze video where the cop had to come back to let him know the ticket was voided and for travis' fans to stop call flooding. Do the UKers call flood like the americans?
Don't think the movement is as big.
@@lizcollinson2692 if you enjoy these watch that one. The cop is a real douche to. Its absolute gold when hes forced to return and rip up the ticket. Their phones became useless so many people called. Awesome tool to have
for half this vid i thought it said royal shit on the reactor
Interesting, good video, loving the Eye in the Sky.
Plod being honest ,
Always a first time !
38:15 Point about the road through a motorway service station. Its not a public road. It's a private road. But it can come under road traffic offences because driving a car over it means the car is going from A to Z. The same as a petrol forecourt - you can drive straight through. So when it comes to stopping a car in such situations you are not parked, even if you turn off the engine and get out of the car as you are still on your journey.
In a petrol forecourt the stop is short. In a motorway service station, it can be just as short if popping to the loo, but if you're stopping for a meal, then you could be there for an hour or so. In the first case you are not parked. In the second instance you are parked. But the police can't tell just from the car parking up. Nor can they find out. So they have to assume the car is parked unless they have evidence otherwise.
So police can stop and get ID under section 164 of the RTA as you drive to the car park in a service or petrol station. But they can't once you've parked for a meal. But such a nuance of the law is above all constable's heads. And many people. So the police will abuse such a point in law to get their own way. And 99.999% of the time they get away with it.
Copper called your drone a toy... 42:26. Lol! "if your battery goes it crashes into the sub station, it might cause an issue"
Crows and all birds with underlying heart conditions, please take that on board as falling from the sky, Dying Suddenly may return man to the stone age. I can be as overly dramatic and inventive as a cop too...
😅
If it’s the case, why isn’t there protective measures over the important bits, something like a faraday cage?
"drone a toy" Possibly looks like one to him, vs what tax payers purchased for him.
What a nice guy makes a change 😂
It's not a 'toy' if it has a 4K camera on it, so the copper got that wrong. He's also 'telling' you info and rules that you already know....
It's classed as a toy in terms of drones.
does the app you use know where you can fly, get updated regulary? It might be that they put a temporary no fly zone in place just whilst the reactor is being delivered then release the airspace again after.
I am sure it says on the front ROYAL SHxIT ? We do not run on that ?
