Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

This deals with recording PHONE calls ONLY, not recording live/in-person stuff.   

The info on that site deals with recording phone calls BUT, read the actual laws of the states that are 2 party, they specifically refer to recording of conversations which would include phone calls (you are correct) AND any other conversations such as in person conversations.  Even the eavesdropping and wiretapping laws can apply to in person recorded conversations.  I am not an attorney and therefore do not give legal advice.  The laws are easy to look up for one's own states and I was only suggesting folks be a little familiar with their laws in their states before committing a possible crime.  I record a lot of in-person interviews and the lawyers that hire me make sure I am aware of the laws prior to proceeding with the case.  I have recorded several folks covertly (in person) without their knowledge as it is legal (as I have been told by many attorney clients) to do so.  It all boils down to if a person has a "reasonable expectation of privacy".  If two folks are talking loudly in a crowded mall (2 party state) and you record them, you are probably ok as they should not expect others to over hear them.  Anyway, the real info is out there, I just wanted to raise the issue to protect my fellow experimenters and did not intend to get this far off-topic.

If it is in your brain, I suppose there is not much anyone can do about it.

There is one problem with your suggestion.  As in Mylow's case, he is in IL and that is against the law to do so.  That would be a serious offense and could easily lead to jail time and other major legal problems he does not need.  There are 12 states that require both/all parties knowledge and consent to being recorded and IL is one of them.  The majority of states only require 1 party (which can be you) to consent.

This is just advice for folks to check out the law of their state before possibly committing a very serious crime that can bring serious jail time along with it.  There are many places to check your state's laws on the net.  Here is but one of them:

Since I deal with this every day in my business, I just wanted to caution folks to check their laws before recoding anyone.

Federal Law (CFR) Code of federal regulations. Key word "CODE" (Not Law)
Only applies to Federal territories.

The states are not federal territories.

The only LAW I understand is Common Law. Can't have both.

I'll record anyone anytime I please. But I've never had a need to.

Regarding the temperature of the magnets, that could simply be explained by the rotors being glued to the aluminum plate which acts as a heat sink or heat exchanger drawing heat from the room and heating somewhat the rotors. The stator is cooler because it is both not on the plate and also it is continuously fanned by the passing rotors.

Get a t shirt and signs saying your are under video and audio surveillance.  Put the sign at the entrance to your door. Were the t shirt. In most states you have given fair warning, and well if they talk after that.... Again as stated check your local laws. Best to check federal laws also.

There's no way that will explain it. I believe he said the room temp was 68F, and the stator PM was 55F. That's a huge temp gradient. How could you explain that? Maybe if the metal bar had dry ice placed on it.
