Your comments at the end were quite interesting. From the 80s, through to the 2000s, I lived in coal mining country here in Australia. I worked in transport, so got to see a lot of the country. The mines, power stations, railway systems, and other infrastructure. I was lucky enough to see the railway's microwave system being set-up in the mid-80s. That's some cool tech. I got to be a passenger on a helicopter when they were constructing the solar-charged, battery-operated microwave tower that had line-of-sight to other towers near the mines many kilometres away.

A corona discharge is the most common noise associated with transmission lines and is heard as a crackling or hissing sound. Corona is the breakdown of air into charged particles caused by the electrical field at the surface of conductors.

You should be able to smell it also

I own property just off a 500Kv right of way (Duke Energy). The few times it has snowed, the flakes are charged and vibrate at a very audible 60Hz. No precipitation, no hum.

I was moving and by happenstance stopped on I5 under a lower power line much like yours, it was pouring down rain. My van and trailer were so hot with my wet feet I could feel the cycles if I ran my hand across it.

Once was fishing around a lake with long-distance powerlines over the mountains crossing it. The air was probably 100% humid from rain and drizzle all day. Once I felt my pants vibrating and the lines humming, sparkling and sizzling, I got the H outta there.

The top lines on the towers are ground wires. I read that if you count the rings on the insulators that each ring is good for 10k volts.

sparked my interest. your videos make me want to learn more about this...thanks

Nice observation, I understand there isn't much water in the air but at night there is a heap more moisture in the air. When the grid is on standby, not many people using the system, the line voltage would be maximum and this would be interacting with the moisture in the air coming close to breakdown voltage, the humming could be radio frequency in the same way the old CRT monitors created a high electrostatic buzz at the screen that you could feel with your hand an inch away.

It's pretty rare to have this happening around these lines. The last couple of mornings I walked out there around the same time, and everything was quiet, like this morning. A little warmer than the day of this video, with a little snow. The last time this was happening, was an Oct. morning, with lot of moisture in the air. The ground wasn't froze, and was actually sizzling.

It is the corona effect, but it was being extra active. I talked to the power company, and they said this happens when there is a lot of moisture on the wires, and in this case it would have been frost. Thanks.

@@doubleMinnovations I have a fence line that borders hi voltage power lines, about quarter of a mile long. I have been harnessing power off the fence for the past 23 years to charge solar batteries it's not much power but it really helps when the solar array is not producing power at night, I consider it an extra source of alternative energy. I have been electrical contractor for over 36 years I have always thought about this when I first bought the property and put up the fences. While installing the fence I realized I would get it a little tingle once in a while. So I decided to run an insulated wire similar to the one that you had ran on your fence to see how much power I was getting. I was surprised at the amount of power that I could get from it. So I had to come up with a way to harness it. I dug a trench 4 feet deep and ran 2" conduit 150 feet over to my main mechanical room where are my batteries inverters and control equipment are in. Haven't had any issues so far. I've also been in touch with the power companies and they have said as long as you're not connecting anything to our equipment they have no issue with it.And nothing past my fence line. It's great for running phantom loads as well as LED lighting.ETC... I hope you are able to harness as much as you can get from your Fence line. I really like your video. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work. Stay safe out there!⚡👍

This is really very interesting! What was the best way to step down the voltage? Thank you for posting!

That's leakage of power out of the lines and into the atmosphere when the atmosphere is more conductive, such as high humidity.

I have two sets of high-tension lines behind the property I am on here in Australia. I hear that sizzle and hum quite often but only at a particular tower, almost like there is some leakage around the insulators. Ionic hum is it? Oh, and I've often wondered if power could be harvested from these towers.

might you try, in place of the coax, a long single strand, laid out in a long double loop? It might harvest serious current.

You are crazy>...Sorta like Tesla! I like what interests you. I do not understand how electricity in the power lines does what it does, but I do not understand why gravity defies understanding by many great scientific intellects. I liked how the radio station power up lit your LEDs. The LEDs were not connected to any other power source? I like the way you think. Count me as a new subscriber.

We have lines on the bigger towers that do that, 57 years old myself and they are before my time, people I know that lived close by them always had health issues and have sinced passed on, sometimes it's mental health issues or see ghost in there house, very old forgotten grave yard close by in the woods.

Interesting!

High load is my guess too. How that can all be generated....lol yeah i wonder how much they do "generate". Wonder if its more of a collection than generation

We don't even get power from the company who owns these lines. Ours is from Minnkota Power, this one is from Ottertail Power.

With normal transmission lines, 10 % to 20 % of the total power transmitted is lost due to resistance in the line itself, and transformers. The higher the voltage, the lower the power loss.

It can have alot to do with the CME's from our sun,as well as magnetic storms hitting our planet. Plus the magnetosphere is in a weaking state around the planet too.

Makes you Really wonder if Tesla was onto something with the transmitted power he wanted to run the world on.

@Double M Innovations - I wounder what health influences this might have ... the (mostly German) channel "FunkWissen" also cares about this topic (partially even the same experiment) & it´s owner Ulrich Weiner (from Germany) has a website that has multiple languages
