The results of detailed aerodynamic tests in the wind tunnel, over a practical range of natural ice shapes and wind speeds, suggest that the Den Hartog mechanism is not the cause for conductor galloping on overhead lines. These results also demonstrate the inadequacy of static aerodynamic data and the importance of damping in predicting dynamic instabilities.
