are the magnets north or south pole? and what is the strength in Gauss??

As to north or south I really don't know. They appear to be pretty weak in Gauss but I understand it doesn't take much Does it work? Too early to tell for sure but it seens to Nice looking though

I have magnets from travels on mine. It is a decent magnetic pull. Better than my refrigerator....I judge it as fairly strong. Good luck!

I don't believe so. I threw the packaging away......but I don't remember it mentioning magnets.

Hi Ana R.!Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) The magnet should have no effect whatsoever on your device. Let me know if I can be of more help here at this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-seller/contact-seller.html/ref=aag_m_fi?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isCBA;=&isPopup;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID;=&sellerID;=AP0GL3AYI3XW1Have a good day!Maureen / The Friendly Swede

Well, I checked and the magnet barely has any pull. I looked it up though and apparently this is still normal and doesn't mean it's not stainless steel. Here's a reliable source of info on it. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-dont-magnets-work-on/

I don't know enough about electromagnetism to answer this, but it's pretty freaking strong. I have to wrap it in a crazy amount of bubble wrap and then into a box to keep things around it from sticking. DO NOT PUT IT ANYWHERE NEAR ANOTHER NEODYNIUM MAGNET. They love each other, violently. You will bleed.

Hi Pam, the one we received was not magnetic. It came with plastic poles and hooks. I think the magnets disappeared because they sometimes came out and the little kids were eating them. They wouldn't always pass on through when a couple were eaten?

Since "north" and "south" are really artificial constructs for a magnet's inherent polarity, it really doesn't matter. If you want to use them for teaching kids they can mark them and figure it out. If you just want to hot glue them into bottle caps for the refrigerator door, that won't matter.

Timothy,The Earth's magnetic poles are located above the surface of the Earth. When a compass is in the Northern Hemisphere, the magnetic pole is above the compass and pulls up on the North end of the needle. In the Southern Hemisphere the same is true for the South end of the needle. The compass is balanced by adding weight to the North end of the needle for compasses used in the Northern Hemisphere and weight to the South end of the needle for compasses used in the Southern Hemisphere.

for adjusting declination, depending on where you live you need to adjust for magnetic north. There is an adjustment screw on the back

Sorry, no they do not appear to be magnetic, I have a couple different magnets that will not stick to them!

We bought this as a gift for our son-in-law last Christmas, so we really couldn't say what the magnetic strength is on it. Sorry!

Today's cell phone "compasses" are gps based, not magnetic. There will be no interference by any magnet at any time. Rest assured.

My grandchildren have them. I really don't know. I don't remember a magnet on top.

Antonio, thanks for the question. The magnets are very strong and just in case you are not totally satisfied, write me and I'll take care of you. No worries at all.

There is a screw in the center of the plate (see picture) that screw is drilled into the surface you wish to attach the plate to. That plate is NOT the magnet. The larger piece is. I agree with J. Metcalfe, while I inly used this little one for my child science fair project, it is mighty impressive for it's size.

Fully magnetic. I.had the other ones they keep falling off. I replaced all of mine with this. And sent some to my son
