Re: Sota Pulser, north / south incorrect ?

New member here, just came across this message. it is not incorrect but the labeling of 'Bio-North' can be a little confusing.


Here is an explanation on the labeling of North & South:

EDIT: since I am new I am unable to post external links so i will just copy/paste the answer I found below:

"Naming the magnetic poles of a biomagnet (healing magnet) can be very confusing. Most biomagnetic scientists and practitioners tend to name the magnet poles the complete opposite of how the traditional scientific and industrial worlds name the poles of a magnet.

In the scientific community, the magnetic south pole of a magnet will attract the north indicator of a compass, and the magnetic north pole of a magnet will attract the south indicator, as shown above.

Most typically, in the field of Magnet Therapy, the pole of the magnet that attracts the north indicator of a compass is called the north pole. This side of the biomagnet is then referred to as "North" or "bio-North."

The north pole of a biomagnet is the end that is attracted toward the Earth's geographic South Pole. With a biomagnet, think of the magnet's north pole as being "south-seeking" and the south pole as being "north-seeking."

The simplest way to name the poles of a biomagnet is with the use of a compass. Place one side of the biomagnet next to a compass. The side of the magnet that attracts the North indicator or needle of the compass is considered to be north or bio-north. It’s that simple!"

I hope that helps clarify> :) Tweet
