Neon Fields

Richard Hammond demonstrates the power of electric fields by plugging neon lights into the ground near electric cables and watching the strobe lights turn on from the charge available in the atmosphere. Hammond also watches a trained hovering technician fix a dangerous corona discharge, which if left unrepaired can have devastating effects.
