• Fig. 5 is a diagram showing the magnetic field curve in the device of Fig. 1;
• the external body of the device is made of chromium plated brass parts 1, 2, 3 having rotational symmetry and worked by a numerical control lathe.
• Each part 1, 2, 3 has an axial bore to allow the passage of water, in the direction of the arrow A, for instance, or in the reverse direction, through the device.
• the ends 4, 5 are threaded in order to allow the connection to a water supply duct.
• the parts 1, 2, 3 are screwed together (the thread is not shown in Fig. 1) .
• the magnetic assembly inside the device is generally indicated by reference numeral 12.
• It comprises two bars of galvanized gap material 13a, 13b and two permanent magnetic plates 14a, 14b made of a samarium - cobalt alloy, each one corresponding exactly to 10000 gauss.
• the two magnetic plates 14a, 14b are arranged in a capsule made of a non-magnetic material preferably polythene used for preserving foodstuffs which acts as a spacer 15, so as to prevent the mutual attraction between the magnetic plates 14a, 14b.
• the capsule retains laterally the magnetic plates, and the latter are introduced in the capsule, like drawers in a piece of furniture.
• the spacer 15 of the capsule is apertured centrally, that is, it is present only at the two edges of the magnetic plates 14a, 14b, and the water passes centrally therebetween.
• the idea forming the basis of the present invention is that of dividing up the plate 14a and the plate 14b into two parts 16', 16" and 17', 17" respectively.
• the two parts 16', 16" and 17*, 17" which, as has been said, are made of a samarium-cobalt alloy, are capable of automatically orienting themselves, creating a magnetic field of about 10000 gauss. There results a concentrated radial magnetic field instead of a radial dispersing field.
• Fig. 5 shows the magnetic field curve inside the device of Fig. 1, along its longitudinal axis.
• the two positive peaks are of 9980 gauss, and each of them has an extension of about 13 mm along the longitudinal axis of the device.
• the physical principle according to which the water, by passing through the channel formed between the two plates 14a, 14b allows the CaC0 3 contained therein to change its crystalline structure, will be briefly discussed later on.
• the device comprises three parts 20, 21, 22 made of a non magnetic material, preferably stainless steel 304 or 316, which are worked with a numerical control lathe.
• the circular plate 21 is provided with a plurality of bores 25 (only one being shown), distributed along concentric circles, each of said bores containing a magnetic assembly 12 identical to that of the first embodiment.
• the two threaded plugs 26, 26' which are screwed respectively on each of the two sides of the perforated plate 21, retain the magnetic assembly 12 inside the bore 25.
• the threaded plugs 26, 26' have obviously an axial bore for the passage of water.
• Reference numerals 27, 27' indicate filters in the form of nets, which retain water impurities.
• Reference numerals 28, 28' indicate two 0 rings.
• the capsule retaining the magnetic plates is made of stainless steel of the type 304 or 316.
• the water containing CaCO flows in the direction of the arrow B through the device (or in the opposite direction since the device is both symmetrical and may point in any direction), and the crystalline structure of CaCO, changes from calcite to aragonite.
• the device may be mounted both vertically and horizontally, or with any orientation whatever.
• Calcium carbonate in its crystalline form can assume three different crystal phases, and precisely: calcite, whose crystallization corresponds to the rhombohedral system with three axes (in this crystal phase crystallize salts having an ionic radius comprised within 0,78 and 1 A); araqonite, which crystallizes according to the rhombic system with one axis (crystal phase for salts having an ionic radius comprised within 1 A and 1,43 A); and vaterite.
• the thermically most probable of these three forms at room pressure and temperature is the stable one of calcite, which gives rise to adherent and compact scaling on metal surfaces.
• a magnetic field influences the crystallization in that it changes the effective radius of the calcium ion, in the solvation process, acting on the water dipoles which surround the calcium ion. Due to the strong magnetic field, the water dipoles surrounding the calcium ion are no more free to orient themselves, and the effective radius will increase by an amount of 0,1 A, which is enough to give rise to crystals of the rhombic system, i.e. not the rhombohedral system, or in other words, aragonite will be formed. Furthermore, during formation of aragonite, the molecules will not easily form a crystal structure since they are influenced by the strong magnetic field. In the absence of a crystal cohesion, there result amorphous deposits, in the shape of talcum powder, consisting of a plurality of small needle-like crystals which are easily removed by the fluid dynamic effect of water.
• Another relevant aspect of the action of magnetic fields is that related to the effect produced on already existent scaling.
• Calcium carbonate even if insoluble, has a solubility of its own connected to certain chemical conditions. In fact, between the calcium carbonate precipitate and water, in presence of calcium hardness, there arise continuously conditions of dynamic equilibrium. Actually, continuous exchange occurs between the calcium ions originating from the dissociation of the minimal amount of solubilized calciun carbonate, and the ion of calcium in water, so that the reformation of calcium carbonate will produce a modified calcium carbonate, since it is previously influenced, by the magnetic field, and consequently the calcite phase is transformed into the aragonite phase. This kinetiks is very slow, due to the limited solubility of calcium carbonate, so that time plays an important role as well as the scaling condition of the various surfaces. As has been said above, the present invention is applicable also to the field of catalysts for motor vehicles. The effect of the magnetic field on fuels will be explained in the following.
• a motor vehicle catalyst which can be mounted as follows: a) in gasoline motor vehicles, between the fuel pump and the carburator or the injection apparatus; b) in Diesel oil motor vehicles, between the pump and the Diesel oil filter.
• the magnetic assembly 12 must contain, in the case of a motor vehicle catalyst, a non magnetic capsule or cage which chemically resists to the fuel.
• derlin may be used, instead of the polythene used for foodstuffs, employed in the device of
• the catalyst may be used with any type of fuel and motor, and in those assisted by a multistage centrifugal blower it preserves always the maximum effectiveness of the turbines;
• the catalyst of the present invention has a performance similar to that of the best catalytic muffler, with inexistent maintenance costs and much more horsepower.
• the catalyst of the first two embodiments (Figs. 1-5) of the present invention creates a high potential permament magnetic field (about 10000 gauss), and the fuel molecules are subjected to a transformation when passing through it, as described above, so as to produce a higher efficiency, the absence of scaling, a longer life of the motor components, but above all a drastic decrease of the emission of the toxic substances from the exhaust pipe.
• a third possible embodiment of the present invention consists in increasing even more the magnetizing performance already provided by the two first embodiments, described with reference to Figs. 1 until 5.
• the magnetic field curve shown in Fig. 6 can be obtained, which is substantially constant and equal to 14600 gauss, apart from three points in which depressions are present. This is obtained by using gaps (magnetized iron which increases the field power) inserted also in the three interruptions of each magnetic plate.
• gaps magnetized iron which increases the field power
• it is possible to "extend" the magnetic field to the whole device of Fig. 1, whose extension was before only of (13+13)mm 26mm, by employing the gaps and the three interruptions of each magnetic plate, inside which the gaps are inserted. The gaps are used to increase the magnetic field power and for interrupting it.
• the water treated by the device of the invention has also several properties which are useful for the health. It has an effect on: - the liver and the gall-bladder: the liver volume decreases rapidly. The vesicular region becomes soft and painless, and the evacuation of small gall-stones may be observed in the feces. In two or three months they disappear completely. Only the uric calculi resist. - the kidneys: the renal calculi rapidly dissolve depending on their importance.
• dermatoses may be easily cured by detoxicating the organism and by a better elimination of natural substances.
• the digestive apparatus an increase of the peristaltic movements of the intestine may be observed, related to the effect produced on the bile by the magnetized water. In digestive troubles (nausea, vomiting, swelling of the stomach) it leads to interesting results;
• the treated water helps in making the cellulitis and obesity disappear.
• the effect can generally be observed in two or three months.
• the diuretic effect of magnetized water is the main cause of this modification of internal and external edema.
