Device for the magnetic treatment of water and liquid and gaseous fuels

Abstract

A device for the magnetic treatment of fluids including water, and liquid and gaseous fuels such as gasoline, diesel, gasahol, fuel, propane, natural gas, oil and the like. The device comprises an elongated, tubular, intermediate casing of a magnetic material, such as a ferromagnetic material, having an elongated magnet received therein. An inner casing of non-magnetic material, such as copper, encases the magnet and includes open tubular end portions extending beyond opposite ends of the magnet and having inner and outer surfaces extending longitudinally with respect thereto. A pair of non-magnetic end fittings are connected to opposite ends of the intermediate casing and include recesses in which are received the respective opposite tubular end portions of the inner casing so as to space the inner casing from the intermediate casing thereby forming an annular treatment chamber there between. In a modified form of the device, the recesses are replaced by tapered passages adapted to seat the tubular ends of the inner casing and prevent movement between the inner casing and the end fittings.
