The cables in pylons are designed to hang rather than be stretched to account for changes in temperature, wind, and other environmental factors. This flexibility allows the cables to absorb and distribute forces more effectively, contributing to the overall stability and functionality of the structure.
No, pylons do not send electricity. Pylons support electricity-carrying cables or wires that transmit electricity from power plants to homes and businesses.
Pylons are structures used to support overhead power lines or telecommunication cables. They provide a stable and elevated platform for these utilities to be transmitted over long distances. Pylons are typically made of steel or concrete to withstand environmental factors and ensure the safety of the cables they support.
People use pylons to support and elevate various structures such as electrical cables, bridges, and buildings. Pylons are designed to provide stability and support, helping to distribute the weight of the structures evenly and prevent collapse.
That is called "tension".
No, pylons (or transmission towers) are not electric at the bottom. The electricity is carried through the overhead power lines that are attached to the pylons. The pylons are designed to support the power lines and keep them elevated above the ground.

Engineers leave power cables slack when hanging them from pylons during summer to accommodate thermal expansion. As temperatures rise, the metal cables expand, and the slack allows for this natural expansion without creating excessive tension that could damage the cables or infrastructure. This practice ensures the integrity and longevity of the power transmission system while maintaining safety standards.

pylons are made of steel as it is a strong metal but cables themselves are copper. ps this is a terribe website

In a standard suspension bridge the cables are supported by a Bridge Pylon or series of bridge pylons. The cables are supported upon these pylons and they serve to reduce the tension forces that would be required at the cable anchorages had the cables simply been installed straight across the bridge span.
If hung in hot weather, the cables will be in an expanded state and longer in length. Due to contraction of the cables in following cold weather, the cables will become shorter and could damage the connections on the poles or pylons. The loop between poles and pylons take this expansion and contraction of cable length into account.
A cable-stayed bridge is one where the deck is 'held up' by steel tensile cables which fan out from the bridge pylons or towers.

In the National Grid there are 876 thousand pylons.
