Board rules

These rules are disclosed to clarify the various responsibilities of all community members here on Kertsopoulos Magnetism forums. They shall be adhered to by everyone to ensure that our board runs smoothly and provides a fun and productive experience for all of our community members and visitors.

  1. Board rules
    This forum is a free public service
    We, the Operators of this Website, provide this English speaking forum (that includes many different forums and sub-forums) as a - free from any cost - public service to our users. You can sign up for free by writing your details and choosing a username and a password. The forum is named: “Kertsopoulos Magnetism Forums”, its subject matter is strictly the “MAGANPEIRON” as defined and explained below and is controlled and constructed under and by Georgios K. Kertsopoulos at the domain name: www.kertsopoulos.com having the (url) address: https://kertsopoulos.com/magnetism/forum
    The forum in Greek
    To join the Greek forum that will have the same "MAGNAPEIRON" thematic project with the current English forum but with its own topics and posts in Greek, visit the Greek forum at: https://kertsopoulos.com/magnetism/forumgr and do a free registration there. If you want to use the English language while you are in the Greek forum, you can choose the English language to be the language of communication through your personal profile. You will go to your name on the top right of the menu, click on it and then and click on the "control panel". Then click the "board preferences" in the options that will appear, and choose English as your language. If you want Greek, you leave the setting as "default" in Greek.
    The subject matter of all the forums: “MAGNAPEIRON”
    The subject matter of all the forums is the “MAGNAPEIRON”, which is the revealing as a free offer to the community by the administrator and creator of this website, the inventor Georgios K. Kertsopoulos, of the “basics” that constitute the novel scientific knowledge, which is revealed and derived from his world patented invention bearing the title “Magnetic system of three interactions” with international patent publication number: WO/2013/136097. This invention has been patented also as a European Patent and obtained national granted patents in Greece, U.S.A., Canada, Australia, France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany, etc.
    The complete innovation is also protected by International Copyright since it is published in Feb. 2017, as a book in the English language with the title: “Magnetic System of Multiple Interactions (Volumes I & II)” and ISBN Number: 978-960-93-8725-5. The “basics” that constitute the new scientific knowledge needed to accomplish multiple polarities and interactions between opposite interacting magnetic constructions vs. the known two, will be given with drawings, figures, text, and photos etc., by the inventor as threads and topics and these will be classified under specific categories and sub-forums. More than 96 different polarities and interactions are achieved in total vs. the known two. Theoretically the interactions can become infinite vs. the known two and for this reason the whole project of the forum is named “MAGNAPEIRON” synthesized from two words: magnets and infinity in Greek, which is the word apeiron.
    Also, many different links to the inventor’s sites are given where each site has a rich content of experiments, presentations in international conferences and also, specific and general informative content concerning our subject matter. The registered users can freely comment, ask questions, provide their own opinions, discuss the technical and scientific aspects of each topic and hopefully we can proceed to build groups that will specialize on each topic and even groups that can work specifically on a chosen project. There are many prospects opening up for the future, where we can collectively work on new projects and also as we will proceed we can collectively build and construct the new principles and laws of magnetism that are revealed to us through all the experiments of the different designs of the innovation, where accordingly a different number of multiple polarities and interactions are studied.
    The inventor and administrator of the forum Georgios K. Kertsopoulos reserves the right to refer in any way to his books and published articles by scientific journals in any post that is deemed necessary. Also, to refer to any magnetic constructions made that are based on his invention, for the proper information of the users. All the postings by the inventor concerning the science of the innovation are licensed by a specific Creative Commons Attribution license and more specifically:
    ©2018 Georgios K. Kertsopoulos. All postings by the inventor on this forum are distributed under the terms of Creative Commons Attribution License: CC, BY-NC-ND, Attribution + Noncommercial + No Derivatives, which permits distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited and the +Non Commercial and +No Derivatives restrictions are respected.
    Precautions in regard to magnetic fields and magnets

    - If you wear pacemakers or implanted heart defibrillators the magnetic devices are not suitable for use by you. You might experience illness due to your pacemaker’s switching into test mode. Your heart defibrillator might stop working. If you wear these devices you have to stay at least 2 meters away from the magnetic devices, you can view them at a distance but you are strongly advised not to use them. Warn others who might wear these devices to stay away and not use the magnetic devices.

    - Although the experiments are exciting and also surprising and interest very much the children, please consider that magnets are not toys and children should always be guided by an adult when using the magnetic devices which are magnetic scientific instruments.

    - Please use, store and dispose magnetic appliances observing the rules regarding them and also keep them away from electronic equipment, smartphones, digital cards and any other device which can be de-magnetized.

    You hereby acknowledge that you will take all precautions to protect yourself and others from any misuse of magnet treatment that may result in disturbing in any way your wellbeing and your health and you acknowledge that you have been warned by these rules stated here concerning the safety precautions that you should always consider when working with any type of magnets. The greater the magnet strength 1) according to its increased size or 2) by the increased magnetic properties of the quality of the constructed material, the greater the risk that the magnet might fly off during the construction stage and possibly impose a wound to the person or hit an object and make damage to it. Extremely special care is needed when working and constructing magnetic constructions, taking all the necessary precautions and always to keep in mind that “magnets can construct toys but the magnets themselves are not toys, they are generators of magnetic fields that possess dynamic and kinetic properties, that need all the analogous respect from each one of us, as to their function”.
