is compounded because many do not look at possible rational explanations for what Geoff is marketing.

I have, thanks to a friend, a sample of the Clever Little Clock, on loan for the time being. There are several initial observations: one is that it does work, to a certain extent, and two, there are magnets affixed to the front and rear of the clock. Seems to oriented so that the N-S poles are going front to rear.

Curious about this, I fabricated a simple mu metal box to see if the effect waned with a containment of the magnetism. To my surprise, the effect increased. Cutting a smaller rectangle of mu metal and then affixing it front and rear even further enhanced the effect (the magnetism holds the mu metal up). The effect has doubled in scale, seemingly.

I haven't had time to play around further, but that should give a small clue as to what is occurring.

Bear in mind that LCD's are known to generate RF because they do flash, and all digital clocks are conting chips counting down pulses from an oscillator which can produce ultrasonic noise (36kHZ is the usual number I see). Put all those together and then make your conjectures as to the workings.
