Abstract: A magnetic fuel conditioner according to the present invention includes an inner pipe, an outer pipe surrounding the inner pipe with sufficient clearance that fuel can pass between the inner pipe and the outer pipe, a plurality of magnets placed inside the inner pipe with like magnetic poles facing each other, and a plurality of mild steel disks placed between each pair of magnets. In a preferred form, the inner pipe and the outer pipe are made of stainless steel. An outer sleeve of mild steel surrounds the outer pipe. In a preferred arrangement, each of the plurality of magnets is cylindrically shaped to tightly fit into the inner pipe and is in the range of from about 9000 gauss to about 10,000 gauss. Typically, the plurality of magnets comprise neodymium. In such an arrangement, each disk of mild steel is approximately one quarter inch thick and approximately the same diameter as the magnets in the plurality of magnets.

Abstract: A fluid treatment apparatus is disclosed which includes a casing through which fluid flows, an array of magnets in the casing, arranged substantially perpendicular to the side of the casing and therefore substantially perpendicular to the main flow of fluid through the casing, wherein the magnets within the array which lie substantially within the same perpendicular plane are spaced apart and arranged in alternating polarity, and means to support the array of magnets such that the space between the magnets within the array which lie substantially within the same perpendicular plane are substantially equal distances from the adjacent magnets to permit flow of fluid therethrough. In a one arrangement, the casing includes an outer casing made from a material which substantially restricts the magnetic field within the casing. An inner casing is made from a non-magnetic material such as stainless steel.

Abstract: A fluid treatment apparatus (A) has an outer casing (12) with a central longitudinal bore (10) with a first and second ends (20,22) to ionize the fluid to be treated. First and second adapter sections (24, 26) have central bores (28, 30) for joining the outer casing (12) with pipes. A plurality of elongated magnets (32) have their longitudinal axis (34) parallel to the longitudinal sides (14) of the casing (12). At least one first support (36) extends between the longitudinal sides (14) of the casing (12) in the longitudinal bore (10) and is supported in proximity to the central bore's first end (20). At least one second support (38) extends between the longitudinal sides (14) in the longitudinal bore (10) and is supported in proximity to the central bore's second end (22). At least two magnets (32) are held between the first and second supports (36, 38) to form a row section (40) of magnets.

Abstract: A fluid ionization device having a casing and outer ring of magnets secured equally about the inner circumference of the magnet and an inner ring of magnets secured equally from the outer ring so as to form an annulus between the inner and outer rings which permits constant flow of fluid therebetween at a constant rate to maintain equal ionization of the fluid.
