I’m sorry I misspoke about the connection between the helicopter and the conductor. I didn’t know the correct term to use since this is a multi national forum. If you have been following my posts about gyroscopic precession you would have noted that the arguments were based primarily on misinterpretation of the other guys terminology. I was torn between the terms earthed and grounded and never even considered bonding.

Regarding my other minor errors in the description I was so intrigued by what I was looking at on the TV screen I didn’t pay much attention to what the commentator was saying. He did say something about a Faraday cage and likened the man being on the conductor to a bird landing on a wire. Actually, he may have been talking about the helicopter in making the bird comparison.

I’m glad that at least one person has recognized my effort to educate regarding the non-bonding of rotorheads and the effects of it.
