Magnetohydrodynamic EMF generator
First Claim
1. An apparatus for treating a flowing fluid comprising:
- a housing in fluid communication with a fluid line;
at least one magnet disposed within the housing in magnetic communication with flowing fluid from the fluid line to magnetize the fluid;
an induction coil disposed downstream of the at least one magnet and in magnetic communication with the flowing fluid; and
electrodes in electrical communication with the induction coil and the flowing fluid to cause electrolysis in the flowing fluid.

Abstract
A new and novel method and apparatus to treat flowing fluid is disclosed. Electrical energy (EMF) is produced by the flow of a magnetically charged fluid through an inductor. The device produces a magnetic field upstream of the inductor/pick up coil through which a magnetizable fluid is passed. The fluid is imparted with a magnetic energy field as it flows through the chamber containing the magnetic field generator and hence through a coil of conductive wire wherein an induced electrical current is generated. The induced EMF generated is then fed back into the fluid stream through an electrode arrangement whereby the electricity produces an electrolysis of the fluid releasing gases at the specific electrode. The gases produced are carried by the fluid to the application point. The device can be used to condition and enhance any hydrocarbon based fuel to give better combustion efficiency and reduce emissions. Additionally, the device acts as a fuel conditioner to reduce algae and bacterial contamination in re-circulating fuel systems. Further, the same principles can be applied to other fluids such as water, which will reduce both scaling and the biological load of the fluid.
