Patent ID: 7351337

Claim:
A magnetic fuel conditioning apparatus comprising: a housing having an interior chamber of a predetermined length; an inlet for introducing fuel into said chamber; an outlet for discharging fuel from said chamber; a plurality of permanent magnets aligned within said chamber, said aligned magnets having an overall length that is less than the predetermined length of said chamber, with like poles of adjacent magnets facing one another for generating a magnetic flux that urges said adjacent magnets spatially apart to form a void between said adjacent magnets, which void extends transversely between said adjacent magnets across the entire face of each of said like poles facing one another, said void forming a fuel-mixing pocket between said adjacent magnets; and a fuel transmitting channel extending through said chamber and passing over said magnets, said channel including an elongate screw thread attached to an interior peripheral wall of said chamber and wound exteriorly about said magnets, said channel communicably interconnecting said inlet and said outlet and in communication with said fuel mixing pocket, whereby fuel introduced into said chamber from said inlet is transmitted through said channel for passing over said magnets and through said mixing pocket such that the magnetic flux induces energy and turbulence in the fuel.
