I really don't know enough to answer to what you say, other than to remind you that Dr. Philpott et al consider the north pole to be the negative energy pole. Since all of these authors are from the northern hemisphere it may be that things would be different in the southern hemisphere. After all, water goes down the drain clockwise in one hemisphere and counterclockwise in the other. Or maybe proximity to the pole has nothing to do with the strength of energy from magnets. You have to ask someone who is a professional in this field. For me and where I live, I have made the decision to consider the north pole of a magnet the energy that I want to use. John
