it's not a clear video, but based on the phase to phase spacing of the conductors, it doesn't look like they are transmission lines, but distribution lines. If they were 345kV, then the phase to phase would be around 10 feet apart. My guess is 60kV distribution lines. Nice - I am learning something...

Transmission Line Voltages Transmission.png I once validated this by crashing a foam airplane into the transmission lines. These were the "little guys" running up and down my street. The plane was made of EPP and internally it had carbon fiber spars. The impact was phenomenal. . . and you ...

Basically true. There are various Android apps that you can download that will allow you to change your sampling rate on the camera. With this you can tune in the flickering.

In my head, it has to start a new file, fill it with data, close the file, update the MFT or table of contents for eac...

I remember when the kids were little, dropping off one of my daughters for a play date. LOL, the dad had a little dog, wearing a diaper.
