Patent number: 11987509Abstract: An efficient, cost-effective, and efficacious technique for removing coal ash and other pollutants from waterways, ponds, marshes, holding tanks and other water sources and supplies. An apparatus comprising an open cage including electromagnets and/or permanent magnets and/or electrodes is supplied with electrical power to extract materials such as rare earth elements and/or heavy metals. The materials levitate to the surface, forming a slurry while leaving water substantially free of such materials.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2022Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: FisherH2O, LLCInventor: David Keith Fisher
