  • Publication number: 20080230459
    Abstract: A method to enhance water flow through a medium includes positioning like poles of two magnets adjacent to create a magnetic flux field at a region corresponding to a position at which the like poles are adjacent, maintaining pressure sufficient to at least partially overcome a quiescent-repulsive force between the adjacent like poles to amplify the magnetic flux field at the region, flowing water through the amplified magnetic flux field at the region at a flow rate selected based on a natural frequency related to a medium through which the water is to flow, the flowing inducing a pulse in the water having a frequency depending on the selected flow rate, and transmitting the water carrying the pulse at the frequency to the medium to produce resonance with the natural frequency of the medium, the resonance causing a decrease in a compaction of the medium.

  • Publication number: 20070205158
    Abstract: A water treatment device. High power magnets are pressed against one another against one another, with like poles facing one another, to form alternating poles. Water is passed through the alternating polarity magnetic field. The water is kept in contact with the field for a time that induces a potential into the water, e.g., for 400 ms. Billing for the system is also disclosed.
