Abstract

This invention provides a device for magnetically treating fluid hydrocarbon fuels. The device provided by this invention is a simplified device which is effective because of the use of flat circular magnets having an opening in the center of the magnets. The device is configurated so that the fuel passes only through the center opening in the magnet and is thereby uniformly treated by the uniform focused field in the center of the circular magnet. The magnetic field is further focused and intensified by the use of pole plates which are also circular having a circular opening in the center wherein the pole plate circular opening is smaller than the circular opening in the flat circular magnet. In one form this invention provides an inline device where the fluid passes through the device and through the center openings in the magnets. In another aspect this invention provides a similar device in a form of an assembly of a circular magnets adapted to receive a nonmagnetic conduit through the center openings in the circular magnets and pole plates whereby the fluid is passed through the nonmagnetic conduit, and is treated in the uniform focused magnetic fields in the center openings o…
