DEVICE FOR MAGNETICALLY TREATING FLUIDS, GASES OR SOLIDS

摘要

A device (11) for magnetically treating a hydrocarbon fluid in a fuel line (21). The device (11) includes a plurality of annular magnetic portions (L1-L3) each having a central aperture (17) which are aligned coaxially to form a central bore (19) through which the fuel line (21) is threaded. The central apertures (17) have varying diameters and are arranged in a graduated sequence starting with the smallest aperture (L3) at one end of the device and the largest aperture (L1) disposed towards the other end. The magnetic portions (L1-L3) are arranged so as to provide a uniformed magnetic field having poles of opposite polarity disposed at opposite ends of the bore (19). Optionally, a further magnetic portion (31) in the form of an inductive coil (33) may be incorporated into the device adjacent to the first magnetic portions (L1-L3) so that the fuel line can pass through the central bore (45) of the coil immediately after the central bore (19) of the first annular magnetic portions. Alternatively, the device can be fitted upon a spark plug (71) to magnetically treat fluid in a combustion chamber prior to and during combustion.
