  • Patent number: 5496458
    Abstract: An electromagnetic enriching device for electrolytes that are passed through a tubular cathode electrode that coaxially houses a sacrificial anode member. The electrolyte enters a housing containing the tubular cathode member and passes through an electric field established between the anode member and the tubular cathode member. Varying and alternating electromagnetic field is created by a coil wound over the cathode tubular member in order to interfere with the cations leaving the sacrificed anode member. In the manner, the device can be connected to a source of water, applying an electrolyte conditioner and resulting in an enriched water that will be applied to plants that require a particular nutrient. The anode member will be selected depending on the nutrient needed by the plant.

  • Patent number: 4427544
    Abstract: A magneto-electrochemical reactor for the treatment of water comprising a non-magnetic conduit provided with an inlet and outlet and a hydro-magnetic homopolar generator including a ferromagnetic armature centrally disposed inside said conduit and adapted to rotate with the fluid flow and generate an electric current by cutting a magnetic field with said armature. The current generated produces ferrous ferric oxide which offers a preferential surface for deposition of scaling forming cations such calcium and magnesium, and further, by forming a protective ferrous film on the heat transfer surfaces being protected.
