Plus if you tried to use a real life solution it would fail because there is not real life solutions that could handle the kind of current that is suppose to be produced. even if yo put Nick in a mesh suit from head to toe how would you ground. What I think people are confusing is when you see these guys in suites in the middle of what looks like a lighting storm. You have to remember that is an inductive current. Which is a lot different then say a high power line. So instead of having to try and deal with the realistic logistics which would be impossible. Use something that makes the solution fantasy without a doubt.
No, I a m not confused. I saw a documentary where a helecopter (which had a man in chain mesh) grounded to power line to equalize potentials. Then a man first clipped a strap on to the line, then stepped from the skid of the copter to the power line. The copter flew off. Later to come back and repeat the procedure to take him off the line after he had made an inspection. The lines were those major ones that form the national grid not the feeders into peoples homes.
This may have had to do more to do with induction than capacitance but it was to keep from frying the man while he worked on the line. I always remember capacitance and induction are both involved in every real world instance involving electricity. It is only on paper and in theory we can separate them.
I would agree about the grounding I did suggest dragging a long steel cable behind him in an early post. But irl in most of our country you need an 8 foot grounding rod pounded into the dirt to make an electrical ground. I do not know about Portland Or.
If I had something important to say, I would have mumbled it.
