Claim:
Apparatus for processing material in a rotating magnetic field, said apparatus comprising: a base; a support structure operatively connected to said base; a magnetic field generating means operatively connected to said support structure for generating a rotating magnetic field configuration concentrated in a generally central spherical space, the orientation of said rotating magnetic field configuration being such that material within said generally central spherical space is repulsed toward the center thereof, further comprising a plurality of magnetic field generating elements rotatably mounted to said support structure, each magnetic field generating element having a north pole and a south pole, said north pole and said south pole of each magnetic field generating element having a tendency to repel each like said north pole and said south pole of each other magnetic field generating element respectively upon coordinated synchronous rotation, said magnetic field generating elements being disposed in spatial relationship with each other so that said north pole of each magnetic field generating element remains in relative repelling spatial relationship to said north pole of another magnetic field generating element and said south pole of each magnetic field generating element remains in relative repelling spatial relationship to said south pole of another magnetic field generating element and when said magnetic field generating elements are coordinately synchronously rotated with respect to each other said north poles and said south poles remain in relative repelling spatial relationship to each other to generate generally co-planar ring-shaped magnetic field configurations, each of said configurations rotating about an axis, said configurations converging at a common locus in said generally central spherical space to generate a repetitive generally spherical shell-like space of revolving magnetic lines of force constituting a magnetic vortex; a material containment vessel operatively connected to said support structure having at least a material processing portion thereof disposed in said magnetic vortex and extending adjacent to the center thereof; and a magnetic field movement means operatively connected to said support structure and said magnetic field generating elements for causing relative coordinated synchronous repetitive rotatable movement of said magnetic field generating elements with respect to said material processing portion of said material containment vessel whereby said magnetic vortex induces quantum and wave mechanical and magnetic effects into said material so as to change the physical, chemical, and magnetic properties and chemical composition of said material and to cause said material to be compacted, aggregated, separated, reaggregated, manipulated, tumbled, levitated, and processed in said material containment vessel.
