Abstract

A molecular arrangement magnetic treatment apparatus and method includes an apparatus including a material passageway configured for having material flow therethrough and at least one pair of magnets oriented such that material in the material passageway passes through a magnetic field effect produced by the at least one pair of magnets. Further, each magnet of the at least one pair of magnets is allowed to move independent of each other such that the magnetic field effect at least partially influences relative placement of each magnet of the at least one pair of magnets.

Claims (39)

1. An apparatus, comprising:

a material passageway configured for having a material flow therethrough; and

at least one magnet holder disposed within the material passageway, wherein said at least one magnet holder includes a pair of spaced-apart magnet receiving spaces and a magnet holder passageway positioned between said pair of magnet receiving spaces and wherein said at least one magnet holder is disposed within the material passageway in a manner whereby all of said material is forced to flow through the magnet holder passageway of said at least one magnet holder at at least one region along the material passageway; and

at least one pair of magnets, wherein a first one of said magnets is disposed within a first one of said magnet receiving spaces in a manner allowing the first one of said magnets to move therein and a second one of said magnets is disposed within a second one of said magnet receiving spaces in a manner allowing the second one of said magnets to move therein such that material in the material passageway passes through a magnetic field effect produced by said at least one pair of magnets as said material flows through the magnet holder passageway of said at least one magnet holder and wherein each magnet of said at least one pair of magnets is allowed to move independent of each other such that the magnetic field effect at least partially influences relative placement of each magnet of said at least one pair magnets.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said at least one pair of magnets is oriented such that said material passes between a north pole and a south pole of each magnet of said at least one pair of magnets.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein said at least one pair of magnets are oriented such that:

a north pole of a first magnet of said at least one pair of magnets is adjacent a south pole of a second magnet of said at least one pair of magnets; and

a south pole of the first magnet is adjacent a north pole of the second magnet.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said at least one pair of magnets is oriented such that material in the material passageway passes between said at least one pair of magnets.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein at least one of the material passageway and the magnet holder passageway is configured for causing said material to decelerate therein prior to passing through the magnetic field effect.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein:

each one of said magnet receiving spaces is elongated; and

each one of said magnets is rod shaped.

7. An apparatus, comprising:

a material container with an inlet and an outlet, wherein a material to be treated is introduced at said inlet and is released at said outlet;

a material passageway connected between said inlet and said outlet of the material container such that said material must pass through the material passageway;

at least one magnet holder disposed within the material passageway, wherein said at least one magnet holder includes a pair of non-intersecting magnet receiving spaces and a magnet holder passageway positioned between said pair of non-intersecting magnet receiving spaces and wherein said at least one magnet holder is disposed within the material passageway in a manner whereby all of said material is forced to flow through the magnet holder passageway of said at least one magnet holder at at least one region along the material passageway; and

at least one pair of magnets, wherein a first one of said magnets is disposed within a first one of said magnet receiving spaces in a manner allowing the first one of said magnets to move therein and a second one of said magnets is disposed within a second one of said magnet receiving spaces in a manner allowing the second one of said magnets to move therein such that material in the material passageway passes through a magnetic field effect produced by said at least one pair of magnets, wherein each magnet of said at least one pair of magnets is allowed to move independent of each other such that the magnetic field effect at least partially influences relative placement of each magnet of said at least one pair magnets.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein said at least one pair of magnets is oriented such that:

a north pole of a first magnet of said at least one pair of magnets is adjacent a south pole of a second magnet of said at least one pair of magnets; and

a south pole of the first magnet is adjacent a north pole of the second magnet.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 said at least one pair of magnets is oriented such that material in the material passageway passes between said at least one pair of magnets.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein at least one of the material passageway and the magnet holder passageway is configured for causing said material to decelerate therein prior to passing through the magnetic field effect.

11. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein:

each one of said magnet receiving spaces is elongated; and

each one of said magnets is rod shaped.

12. A method, comprising:

providing at least one magnet holder within a material passageway of an apparatus, wherein said at least one magnet holder includes a pair of non-intersecting magnet receiving spaces and a magnet holder passageway positioned between said pair of non-intersecting magnet receiving spaces, wherein said at least one magnet holder is disposed within the material passageway in a manner whereby a material flowing through the material passageway is forced to flow through the magnet holder passageway of said at least one magnet holder at at least one region along the material passageway;

providing a first one of said magnets within a first one of said magnet receiving spaces in a manner allowing the first one of said magnets to move therein and a second one of said magnets within a second one of said magnet receiving spaces in a manner allowing the second one of said magnets to move therein, wherein the first one of said magnets and the second one of said magnets jointly produce a magnetic field effect within the magnet holder passageway such that material passes through the magnetic field effect as said material passes through the magnet holder passageway;

allowing each magnet of said at least one pair of magnets to move independent of each other such that the magnetic field effect at least partially influences relative placement of said magnets of said at least one pair of magnets; and

causing said material to flow through the material passageway.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein:

causing material to flow through a material passageway includes causing said material to decelerate therein prior to passing through the magnetic field effect.

14. The method of claim 12 wherein:

each magnet of said at least one pair of magnets includes a north pole and a south pole; and

allowing said material to flow through the material passageway includes allowing said material to flow between the north pole and the south pole of each magnet of said at least one pair of magnets.

15. The method of claim 12 wherein:

each one of said magnet receiving spaces is elongated; and

each one of said magnets is rod shaped.
