Abstract: A device for generating metal ions in an electrolyte. The device comprises a bar of metal that is electrically charged as an anode, surrounded by a tube of stainless steel, which is electrically charged as a cathode. The tube is affixed to a plastic housing that is installed in a conduit carrying an electrolyte. The electrical requirements are supplied by converting AC current to DC current supplying the appropriate voltage and amperage to ionize the specific metal being used.

Abstract: A device for holding magnets in place and concentrating the fields of the magnets to the center of a conduit that is aligned laterally between the magnets.

Abstract: A magnetic device for treating oil flowing through crude oil supply lines is disclosed which is constructed of two concentric tubes with a series of tiers of magnetic means interposed in the annular space formed by the concentric tubing. The tiers are spaced one from another by spacers and connecting means are provided at each end of the concentric tubing to attach the device in an oil well supply tube string. All of the magnets in each tier have the same magnetic pole facing toward the tubing axis. The outer tubing is formed of a ferrous material and the inner tube is formed of a nonferrous metallic material such as copper.

Abstract: A magnetic fluid treatment device is provided in which elongated cup shaped members are aligned to form a tube about a fluid conducting conduit. Interposed between the conduit and the elongated cup shaped member are a plurality of magnets which are arranged in diametrically opposed pairs within the tube. According to one embodiment of the invention, the cup shaped members are secured about the fluid conducting conduit by interconnecting longitudinally extending flanges. According to another embodiment of the invention, the elongated cup shaped members are received within a housing having end caps closing the ends thereof about the fluid conducting conduit. Each end of the conduit is provided with an adapter or appropriate connector to then be received within a conduit carrying the fluid to be treated.
