Patent ID: 7048786

Claim:
An apparatus for treating a fluid so as to increase gas content while reducing surface tension, wherein the apparatus comprises: a. a surface tension modification generator (STMG) comprising an STMG chamber for receiving a pressurized fluid at a first pressure, at least a pair of probes disposed in the STMG chamber with a first probe for emitting a frequency from about 0.05 Hz to about 5000 Hz, into the fluid and a second probe causing the emitted frequency to travel through the fluid for a defined distance to modify a physical characteristic of the fluid forming an altered fluid; b. a multi-chambered device for receiving the altered fluid from the STMG, wherein the multi-chambered device comprises: i. an inner chamber, wherein the inner chamber is for supporting altered fluid at a second pressure, wherein the inner chamber comprises an inner chamber axis and an inner chamber inlet for receiving altered fluid; ii. an outer chamber enclosing the inner chamber for receiving fluid from the inner chamber, wherein the outer chamber further comprises an a outer chamber outlet, and wherein the fluid is at a third pressure in the outer chamber; iii. at least two funnels for flowing fluid from the inner chamber to the outer chamber and creating a turbid fluid condition at a focus point to dissolve gas into the fluid forming dissolved gas in a fluid mixture, and c. a port connected causing a fluid pressure drop from the STMG to the inner chamber, and wherein the port can be used for flowing gas into the inner chamber, and wherein the first pressure is greater than the second pressure.
