I have learned rather quickly how to deal with moving trailers under the high tension lines in our lot.  Do not touch both units at once unless they are connected to one another.  And DO NOT stand in the wet mud or puddles when touching anything metal on the trailer or truck.  

Things get shocking rather quickly.  I'm talking a lot of voltage with what seems to be very little amperage.  Depending on weather conditions and how well grounded I am,  I think I have had less of a jolt from touching camera flash tube leads.  


This is from today.  Truck and trailer are separated and the release cable is just resting on the truck creating an inconsistent ground path.  Listen to it sing!

Need to find a way to harness that.

Get some coils going baby

A smart man did that, got sued for theft of services and he lost.

Half of a transformer would have some pretty good output.

What you're experiencing sounds like capacitive coupling between the truck and the power line. Basically, the power line acts like one plate of a capacitor, and the truck acts like the other plate. When the two "plates" are close enough together, any charge present on one plate also induces a charge on the other one - and when you touch the truck, some of that charge bleeds off through your body to ground.

Try some grounding chains on the trailers and the trucks.
It may bleed off the residual voltage.
Will need to replace when it gets ground away by driving..

Take a 4' florescent bulb and go under the power lines at night.  Hold the bulb straight up and see it light up.

I have considered just that.  

Among other things.  

I would be curious to see what a multi tester will show for voltage.  I know there is a lot.


I also wonder if lights and appliances will come on in the units if tried.
