Method and apparatus for electromagnetically crushing, mixing and stirring substances by employing a mechanical driver

摘要

An apparatus and method for electromagnetically crushing, mixing and stirring substances is disclosed. The apparatus has a container for containing ferromagnetic or non-magnetic conductive working pieces together with substances to be processed, shifting magnetic field generators which act on and generate a random motion of the work pieces, and a mechanical driver which imparts a relative motion to said container on a plane generally parallel with the shifting direction of the shifting magnetic field generated by said shifting magnetic field generators. Similarly, the method comprises moving the container relative to shifting magnetic field generators on a plane generally parallel with the shifting directions of the generated magnetic fields.
