Abstract: A device and method for the treatment of a fluid with magnetic lines of force are disclosed. The device comprises a core magnet assembly and at least one spaced-apart and concentric elongated ring magnet assembly forming at least one annular passageway for said fluid. Each magnet assembly comprises at least one tier of at least two magnetic sections arranged in coaxial lines in N--N and S--S relation in at least one permanent magnet. The ends of each tier of magnetic sections are supported by support members and, when said tier contains more than one magnet, the length of said tier is supported between its ends. The magnet assemblies are positioned so that the polarities of adjacent polar ends of magnetic sections in one of said magnet assemblies are unlike the polarities of the oppositely disposed adjacent polar ends of magnetic sections in a spaced-apart magnet assembly.

Abstract: A device and method for the treatment of a fluid with magnetic lines of force are disclosed. The device comprises an elongated outer casing and at least two spaced-apart elongated magnet assemblies positioned therein to form at least one laminar passageway for said fluid. Each magnet assembly comprises at least one tier of at least two permanent magnets or at least two magnetic sections of a single permanent magnet arranged in coaxial line in N--N and S--S relation. The ends of each tier of magnets or magnetic sections are supported by support members and, when said tier contains more than one magnet, the length of said tier is supported between its ends. The magnet assemblies are positioned so that the polarities of adjacent polar ends of magnets or magnetic sections in one of said magnet assemblies are unlike the polarities of the oppositely disposed adjacent polar ends of magnets or magnetic sections in a spaced-apart magnet assembly.

Abstract: A device for the treatment of a fluid with magnetic lines of force comprises an elongated non-ferromagnetic outer casing and at least three spaced-apart elongated magnet assemblies positioned therein to form laminar passageways for said fluid. Each magnet assembly comprises at least one tier of at least two permanent magnets encased in non-ferromagnetic jackets and arranged in coaxial line in N--N and S--S relation. The polar ends of the magnets are received in ferromagnetic support members having opposed surfaces to magnetize the support members with the polarity of said polar ends and to distribute the magnetic energy therefrom to the opposed surfaces. The magnet assemblies are positioned so that the polarities of the support members in one of the magnet assemblies are unlike the polarities of the oppositely disposed support members in an adjacent magnet assembly. Means are provided for positioning the magnet assemblies within the outer casing.
