I am sure that it serves to bring the helicopter and the wire to the same
voltage. The helicopter is a big capacitor and needs to be charged,
preferably not through the body of the person on the skids (or wheel wells).

You do the same (maybe) when somebody gives you a very expensive ESD
sensitive device: you shake hands first to equalize the voltage on the
bodies, then you hand off the device.

And when that helicopter lands, I would not want to touch it before it hits
the ground. I might even give it a few minutes to discharge.
 
Life is fun and precious, which is why I would skip that job,
Ahne.

Anybody know what the wand is for?

Reminds me of Harry Potter.

[TN] NTC - I wonder how much this job pays?






I know it's not Friday yet, but it seems pretty quiet out there. I just
back from vacation on Monday and haven't posted much...that's why I've
been so quiet.
 
I got a video clip yesterday that was pretty interesting. It's of a
"high-power" sort of job that makes one wonder how much these guys get
paid for doing it.

I don't think anyone could pay me enough to perform that job...
