the helicopter has its own defined potential regarding the ground (the generator is the set composed of the ground, the helicopter and the space interposed). is a "battery" with one of the poles in perfect contact with the soil (being the soil just one of the poles). the same thing applies to the atmospheric discharges (lights) between the clouds and the earth (the generator is the set composed of the ground, the cloud and the space interposed).I don't know, we also talked about not having to take the helicopter's winch rope.
when charging is the space between two clouds, the generator is composed of the two clouds (the poles) and the air that lies in us. in this case the discharge takes place between the two clouds and not between one of the clouds and the ground (the horizontal lightnings that are seen in the sky), precisely because in this case no pole of the generator has any connection with the earth.
