Abstract:
1. A magnetic field application device for applying a shielded magnetic field to a fluid flowing within a conduit, the device comprising: at least three ferrite ceramic magnets, each having a north pole and a south pole with a magnetic field emanating therefrom; at least three magnet casings adjustably attached around any of a variety of fluid conduits of various diameters for positioning the at least three ferrite ceramic magnets around the fluid conduit to create a magnetic field imparted to a fluid within the fluid conduit, each of the at least three magnet casings comprising an outer casing wall of ferrite content stainless steel to confine the magnetic field inside its outer casing wall in order to shield any external magnetically sensitive devices from the magnetic field and to focus the magnetic field on the fluid within the fluid conduit, the at least three magnet casings being adjustably and removably attached to one another around a non-ferrous section of the fluid conduit, each of the at least three magnet casings comprising an inner magnet holder frame attached to an inner side of its outer casing wall to hold one of the at least three ferrite ceramic magnets in proximity to the fluid conduit, each inner magnet holder frame being fabricated of non-ferrous stainless steel to allow maximum transmission of the magnetic field to the fluid in the fluid conduit, the inner magnet holder frames securing the at least three ferrite ceramic magnets in an annular array with the at least three ferrite ceramic magnets being equally spaced around the fluid conduit with the magnetic poles of the at least three ferrite ceramic magnets oriented identically with the same pole facing the fluid in the fluid conduit in order to optimize the magnetic effect on the fluid and to maximize the physical benefits imbued to the fluid.
