    Don't buy the bridge either. :biglaugh: Electromagnetic filters and other gadgets have been around since WWII. Remember the one that plugged into a socket and made your house wiring into a TV antenna? Or the copper bracelets for arthritis sufferers? The concept is to align the electrons in one direction or another. The only one that ever succeeded was Nikolas Tesla. He could move AC current without wires, over hundreds of feet. His papers were 'lost'. People have been using his theories to support their 'veggi-matic' widgets ever since.:whew:

    It would appear Aussies don't provide enough magnetic:evilsmile: attraction to this site.
    I think it will only let users from Canada, USA & UK access the site:(

    I'll bet you'll overcome your curiosity.:rofl2: Like an old friend used to say "There's no great loss, without some small gain.":D

    These kinds of gimmicks pop up during hard times, and then fade away into garage and yard sales.

    So there is a good use for old speaker magnets. Every few years the city gets infested with field mice from the prairies. Are you serious?

    :biglaugh:Here I was thinking tbirdsps was picking on the aussie in the forum:rofl2:
    You may see the confusion if you go back through the order of posts from where I mention (the second time) I can't access the site and tbirdsps posts immediately after (which I took as a reply:huh:):D. Talk about me confusing the issue:biglaugh:

    I know that in parts of the US, they have squirrels that dig tunnels under their gardens and nibble the roots - underground smorgasbord! There's so many gimmicks, but some folks try to drown them out or shoot them out. Makes me wonder if magnets might be useful.

    They've been using this device for small animals as well as homeless people in parts of Western Canada:

    The problem is how do you validate the claims?

    Reminds me of an old joke - Guy says to a neighbor, "I'm growing radishes to keep the elephants away..." Neighbor says "that doesn't work..." Guy says "You don't see any elephants around, do you....?"
