I have read a lot of comments asking how the pilot is able to keep the helicopter so still. Allow me to explain, as I am a seasoned pilot with over 30 years of experience. In situations like this, the combined weight of the lineman's and pilot's testicles helps to stabilize the aircraft.
That is the best technical explanation I have read yet .. thank your for that insight .. It seems that Periodic weighing of the testicles of both men is probably crucial in order to make any adjustments that may be needed on the Aircraft itself to fine tune the balance. ..
These pilots and linemen always amaze me. Because of these brave fellas you have power to your home. We tend to take it for granted, but there is a lot of effort into keeping the lights on.
That was one of the most informative, clearly narrated, and absolutely fantastic videos I've seen on TH-cam. I'm no electrician, but I'm guessing this product sells itself.
I do not work in this exact industry, but my job requires me to understand transmission lines and with 20 year history as a Telco lineman, this looks like a very solid product and a great solution. Well done video as well.
In another video, one of these helicopter-riding linemen says, "I've only ever been afraid of three things: electricity... heights... and women. And I'm married, too." :-) So yes, such workers have all the fears that one would expect them to have. But they learn how to over-ride those fears. "A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once.", to quote Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar".
Being on a building and looking down, isn't the same as being on a helicopter looking down. The perspective to the ground is different. I noticed this when I went skydiving for the first time and you have to step out of the plane and put your foot on the wheel in preparation for the static line jump.
I’m in the process of being hired to comed as a overhead technician, I am so fuckn nervous, I know they will teach me everything but having no experience going into this field is frightening, any tips?
Yes sir I agree... I climb and assemble cell phone towers for a living... and the highest I ever been was on 1131 ft but I don't think I could do this kind of work I don't play with electricity.. I tip my hat to them.. they got nerves of Steel..
Note the helicopter is attached to the line for the duration of the operation. If anything happens to the guy installing the bypass the pilot is also doomed.
Leonard Milcin, there is no problem to just fly away anytime, also without disconnecting that...pliers. and the worker is always ready, he doesnt tangle up with anything during working, he is literally always ready to just being pulled away of everything
The sad thing is... Kim Kardashian didn't make herself famous... the general public did. Somehow, we made her important. We fell for her promoters bullshit. If we ALL were more aware of what's truly real and fake... what's talent and not in this world, we would have never had heard of that bubble-ass, pretentious, no-talent bitch.
Not going to happen. There are never that many splices to begin with, and most don't fail. Only the ones that _do_ fail (develop high resistance and hence high power loss and high temperature which shows up as white on infrared cameras) are clamped. The vast bulk of each line consists of segments of thousands of feet of unbroken conductors with splices between segments.
Impressive.... I know the lineman is probably safe with all the gear but still I imagine it takes some stones to do that job and amazing skill of that pilot. Nice work gentlemen!
Nope, that gear will do nothing if the helicopter drifts too close to another phase and causes a line to line fault. Talk to people that have worked with transmission repair for a decade or two and they can probably name a person who died from that either form a bad pilot or a strong gust of wind. Sure they might fall to the ground after the fault but they are dead before they hit.
The pilot is amazing. Hovering with around 190lb man on the starboard side moving around. Add in he's flying right next to power lines. Power lines, and guide wires are a helicopters pilot nightmare.
Not when you work on them all day everyday, its just normal to us. :) We're kinda like firefighters, when others run away, we run in and do what needs to be done.
I'm in Lincoln NE and a few years back the were doing high power repair. Pretty cool stuff. This is where I could get stupid, they used a five blade Hughes helicopter with tail rotor maybe a 500D ?? That pilot kept that thing pretty steady. Fun to watch. at a distance.
This is TOTALLY cool. If I could go back 30 years, I'd definately swap my career as a software engineer (ie computer programmer and web developer) for THIS career field, even though I probably wouldn't make as much in salary. Job satisfaction counts for something.
I can honestly say I don't know of any story of who has died as a direct result of their work as a software engineer. I've worked on utility projects for 9 months now and have heard at least 5 different stories about linemen getting killed, 4 of those were doing hot work from a helicopter. The pay is better than most low end skilled jobs but the risk is very high.
Wouldn't there be a voltage differential across the bad connection? Heat is being generated because of voltage drop across the bad splice. I'm guessing the voltage drop wasn't high enough to warrant any bonding before attaching the splice?
You are correct. According to Southwire's chart for that "Lapwing" ACSR cable is rated to handle 1354 amps max. Since the rest of the wire is cold on the IR camera, it is safe to assume current was much less than that. For example, lets say current was 400 amps and a guess for the heat dissipated in the bad splice was around 200 watts (it was warm, not searing hot), the voltage drop across the bad splice would have been 500 millivolts.
Once the voltage drop across a connection reaches 0.3V (yes, that is 3/10ths of one volt!) the aluminum will exceed 650°C and the splice will melt. Actually, it is unlikely to get that high (0.3V) before the connector let’s go mechanically. If you can’t handle 0.3V, probably ought be in a different profession - and that would not include auto mechanic, as you would have to wear a full set of gloves and sleeves to change a battery!
Amazing vid. But there's a temperature unit mismatch in the voice commentary: the graph shows temperature values in centigrades, but the commentary says that after installing a ClampStar, the temperature fell to 27°F (-3°C) that seems unrealistically low temperature even in winter conditions.
Reposted from the video description: NOTE: At the 3:41 mark there's a mistake in the narration. He should have said 27 degrees Celsius, not Fahrenheit.
You know.... Who was the big balled bastard who did this the first time? I can hear the conversation going someone like this: "if you bond the helicopter to the wire, you won't get shocked.... At least I think..." 😂😂 I mean, come on. That's 230 THOUSAND volts. On the up side, if you #### up, you'll never know what hit you. Lol
They should design a socket that is longer and has an angled slot out the side of it with an annular housing around it and bag underneath so when the head breaks off it stays in the socket then the operator just pushes it on to the next one which forces the broken one out the angled slot of the socket, into the annular housing with angle floor in it and tube down to the catch bag to catch all the heads. That way he wont need to invert the power tool each time to catch the broken bolt head out of the socket and put it in the can (risking dropping it) and can just go from bolt to bolt which would speed up the job, save fuel, reduce risk time near the line and the operator can just empty the bag of break off heads into the can after the job is done on the way to fit the next one.
ClampStars act as an electrical and mechanical shunt to prevent wire-down incidents caused by failing splices and other overhead connectors. If ClampStars are not installed and the splice or connector failed, the line would come down and possibly cause, things like; wildfires, electrocutions and other damage. Google "swingset electrocution" to see a video demonstration of a failed splice. Also checkout this video: th-cam.com/video/u9xe273PFg0/w-d-xo.html
@@ClampStars I see. Can't say I've heard of a mechanical shunt before though, but hey, these are some interesting concepts you have presented. Thanks for the explanation.
People commenting in another similar video said the space between the phases is more than you think, and also, the heli's rotor is kept above the height of the wires, and the work platform is underneath the heli.
What about the specific scenario of the cable parting while the lineman is clipped on, with both ends suddenly heading away and down. Assume the clip is caught on something like the splice and hangs on. Does the wire between clip and helicopter have a breakaway accessory? A sudden tug would be notagoodthing.
The clip is attached to the helicopter to make the helicopter's charge the same as the line so that the lineman doesn't get electrocuted by a static shock. The drill is plugged in to a power source on board the helicopter.
Crossing the road it dangerous. So is going to a school in the USA. More deaths in Grade and Elementary schools than fling wing guys and girls hovering alongside HV power lines.
Hello Bill Zang, Thanks for the question. Most utilities will conduct infrared inspections on overhead transmission lines once per year or once every other year depending on the age of the conductor. Inspection requirements vary for each utility.
Why rely on the lineman having to individually tighten then shear each bolt. Why not build a detachable tool that will tighten them all then shear them in one go?
Why reinvent the wheel? This looks like it was made to work from an economic standpoint with existing off-the-store-shelf tools - otherwise, you'd be looking at some serious bank for very limited production tooling (economy of scale kicks in here).
jagara1 hey man, maybe you could make one. Then patent it, then sell it to these guys. How many torque bolts per connection? Looks like about 10. 10 drill heads running at once, properly spaced, maybe with a guide that snaps into place. Pretty good idea, would shave off a lot of time for this job. DeWalt & Ryobi make flexible bit extensions. What if 10 drills were mounted on the platform, each connected in series and operated with a single switch, and each had 4-6ft flexible extensions.. Neat idea.
I have read a lot of comments asking how the pilot is able to keep the helicopter so still. Allow me to explain, as I am a seasoned pilot with over 30 years of experience. In situations like this, the combined weight of the lineman's and pilot's testicles helps to stabilize the aircraft.

What an incredibly talented pilot. A pilot that can keep a helo that steady in those brisk winds is absolutely amazing.
this is not for the faint of heart and short of temper. Bravo pilot and lineman.
Not only the pilot but the working guys just unbelievable skills. I hope they make a well diservd living
He has to sit outside because his balls wont fit through the helicopter door.

4th video in a row ive seen a comment like this
LOL! Indeed!
These guys deserve every penny they get. Note to electrician -- don't cheat with the pilots wife....
Raptorman0909 they are married to each other , so it can’t happen
Note the helicopter is attached to the line for the duration of the operation. If anything happens to the guy installing the bypass the pilot is also doomed.
pretty sure that connection is a tear away...too much tension and it snaps so as to not destroy the heli
Leonard Milcin, there is no problem to just fly away anytime, also without disconnecting that...pliers. and the worker is always ready, he doesnt tangle up with anything during working, he is literally always ready to just being pulled away of everything
I think its too low for this job
What could possibly go wrong here? I really hope these guys are WELL PAID for this high risk task. R-E-S-P-E-C-T
The brave worker is not afraid of heights.
I get a little weazy just watching the video.
I’ve been looking for this video everywhere, thanks! I now know what to do when I find hot connectors on my overhead powerlines
Kim Kardashian makes 250 times the salary of both this lineman and pilot combined in one year. Just let that sink in.... Our species is doomed.

Yeah, but have you seen the size of her huge ass?
According to feminism Kim Kardashian is a victim and the guy hanging from that helicopter reparing a 400000 volt line is a privileged.
Fuck Kim K
The sad thing is... Kim Kardashian didn't make herself famous...

These guys have one of the most badass jobs. I would love to do this.
The counter weight on the other side of the chopper is to balance the weight of the BIG PAIR of the line man.
Anyone who is in aviation definitely has mad respect for that pilot.
Myself included. I can’t wait to start flying
Now i know what to do next time i'm in this typical scenario. Thanks TH-cam.
Well that was easy, wasn't it. My wife has been looking for a change of career direction, I think I've now found just the thing.

i hope that team gets paid a shitload flying a chopper like that is ungoldy hard and being that close takes balls of steel
350k a year.

Once the voltage drop across a connection reaches 0.3V (yes, that is 3/10ths of one volt!) the aluminum will exceed 650°C and the splice will melt.

Can I order one from the website? I have a high voltage line next to my house and in my thermal scope it's hot, I think I can fix it myself
Unreal. Real hero
3:30 That graph gives another meaning for "hot" power lines.
Do they shut down the line, while repairing, because of the temperature ?
The video show he never needs to touch the connector. The heat might be kind of nice on a cold day.
They never do outages for transmission lines unless they are fixing an outage on a transmission line.
Stopping power on transmission lines can result in literally billions of dollars in losses--they don't do that unless they have to.
No it can't.
I know of transmission lines that get opened every day. But outages are not necessary for this kind of work.
Great job! I wonder how they fix a high resistance problem when it is in a line in the middle of the other two.

I’m wondering what the mechanics of the repair. Does this work by giving less resistance due to the added conductivity?

Props to the pilot and lineman.
does the helicopter comes with the clamps?
I didn't see any anti-ox compound applied. Are the clamps pre-loaded? Aluminum joints have a bad habit of oxidizing and becoming resistive.
Orbiting Eyes, that’s an excellent question! All ClampStar units are pre-loaded with a proprietary antioxidant compound known as CC Squared.
I'm gonna buy myself a clampstar clamp for Christmas
Great work - on we groundlings are afraid of 110 V AC :-)
how did he grab the wire with two hands? Would it run some of the current through his body?
This is a really cool product
Amazing pilot. Very hard to hover like that even 10 ft off the ground much less 2 ft from the transmission line.
How do you get that first time under your belt? And I have never seen these jobs advertised.
Looks like a fun job 😎
What is the voltage differential between the two sides of the hot splice?
What the heck... the lineman seriously puts so much trust in the helicopter pilot
Dude hooking stuff up has the biggest balls ever. I’m surprised he can do that so fast with balls that big .
Good job, but they don't work in very high wind conditions.

That's what I thought. Why the hell would anyone go do this in high wind?!
Thats one nice MD 500.
My Car's plug wires have a few abrasions causing shorts; I am going to use Clampstars!
How often do utilities run inferred inspection on all the conductors they own? Once a year?
Hello Bill Zang, Thanks for the question. Most utilities will conduct infrared inspections on overhead transmission lines once per year or once every other year depending on the age of the conductor. Inspection requirements vary for each utility.

JosVideosHD maybe use an electric motor mounted inside the helicopter instead of a conventional drill
This is one of those times where you need a new wrench to torque all 20 bolts down. It would cut the instillation time by half at least.
this is a very challenging process. To a point it could be interesting and rewarding, but fear of heights is a non qualifier
Meet them both!

Great pilot. But props to the other guy. Imagine doing all that work from a moving platform, and holding and operating that drill at arms reach
There is a reason everything is either tethered or they have several back ups.
Talk about trust in your pilot. Granted the pilot has to trust that the lineman isn't going to royally screw up, also.
