Fi~ld o the Invention
~he present inventiorl rela~es to an apparatus ~or
5 maynetization treatm2nt of fluia, which is used to treat su~h
fluîd as water or oil in a magnetic field to activate it and
to imprs:2ve its quality.
.
B~CKGRQU~D OF ~HE IN~ENTIO~
In rec0nt years 9 an equipment intended for improving,
lO ~or example, the quality of water by ,~pplying a magnetic
ield caused by a permanent magn2t ko the water has been
prop~osed. Such type o equ~pment comprises a plurality of ~ -
annu~ar permanent magnetic plat~s arranged on a water pas~age
of the tap water pipe so as to activate th~ water by applying
15 the magnetic field cau~ed by the permanenl: magnetic plate~
~.
}n the case of such construction, however, since the
magnetic field o~m d in the water pas~age is a static
~: magnetic ~ield with a low intensity o magnetization, the
w~ter is not effectively activa~ed and the e~fect of
: ~ 20 improv~mant of the water ~ ~lity is not fully satisfied.
Al~o, r~cently, for improving the quality of drinking
wa~r, a mag~etization txeatment bottle comprising a
~: ~ pluraïity o permanent: magnets suitably arranged on the
`..' ':
.:
~32~8
peripheral walls of a container has been proposed. The
bottle is designed to activate the ~rink water in th~
container by applying the magnetic field caused by the
permanent magnet thereto.
In the case o magnetization treatment bot~le having
such construction, however, since the magnetic field ~Eormed
in the container is lso a static magnetic field with a low
in~ensity of magnetization, the water is not effec~ively
act~ated and improvement of the water quality is not
10 sufficient~
The present in~entlon is devised by observing the
above-noted problems, therefore, it is an object thereof to
pro~ide a novel apparatus for maq:netization treatment o~
flui&, which is capable of effectively activating such fluid :;
15 ~5 water ~y rotating the magnetic f:ield :Eormed in a pa~sage
or a xeservoir of the ~luid. ::

In ~he apparatus 1, as shown in Fig. 2, an in10w pipe
for admitting tap water and an outflow pipe 7 for discharglng
the treated water are projected in the opposite direction
5 in~egrally respectiYely at one end and at ~he other end o~ a
holl.ow case 5 made of a synthetic resin, whose hollow secti~n
is proYided with a water passage 10 communicating an inle
of the inf low pipe 6 and an outlet 9 of t:he outf low pipe 7 ~
A partition 11 is arranged substantially in the middle of the
10 water passage 15, and in a chamber A 3n ~he upstrPam side
xelative to the partition 11 7 a rotor 13 including a magnetic
field generator 12 i5 disposed. The rotor 13 is a hollow
sphere and rotatably supporte~ with supp~rting axes 14, 14 at

In the embodimen-t, th~ diameter of the rotor 13 is sat
slightly smaller than that of the case 5 to ~orm a narrow gap
17 therebetween, and through the case 5 corresponding to the
narrow gap 17, one or a plurality of air suction holes 18 are
5 form~d.
The narrow gap 17 serves to increase the flow rate o~
the wat~r to cause a suction force in the air suction holes
18, thereby sucking ~ir into the water flow to produce
bubbles.
On the surface of the rotor 13 t moving vanes ~9 for
converting a water energy flowing inside the passage 10 i~to
the driving force are formed integrally, -thus when the wa~er
flow works on the rotor 19 and the drivint~ force is produce~

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION
The operation of the fir~t embodiment will be explainedO
When tap water is fed into the water passage 10 from the
5 inlet 8, the water strikes on the moving van~s 19 ~nd gi~e~ ~
rotating force to he rotor 13, there~y the magnetlc field
generatox 12 is rotated to produc~ a dOc.rotating magnetic
fie~ d in the surrounding water passage~ Thus, wh~n th water
passes through the rotating ~agnetic field, molecules of
10 wat~r will receive the electrical energy based upon the
fvllowing equation and are ackivatedn
where E = Inductive voltage,
B - Magnetic flux densit,y,
~ = Length of conductor crossillg the magnetic
field,
v = Velocity of conductor rela1:i~e to the

Also~ when the water passes through the narrow gap 17
20 air is sucked throu~h the air ~uction hole 18 by an ejector
action so that innumerable bubbles are produced in the water,
thereby oxygen is replenished into the water and concentra-
tion of the oxygen Lon is raised higher ~y the magnetic

Moreover, the bubbles condense impurities contained in
the water and adsorb onto the surfaces r which are remove~
whil~ passing through the filter member 20. When constant
magnetic subst~nces such as iron and nickel are contained in
5 the water as the impurities, such impurities are adsorbed
onto the surface of the rotor 13 by the suction force of the
permanent magnet 15. Also, when such diamagnetic substances n
as mercury and lead are containe~ in the water as the
impurities, such impurities are preventecl from flowing down
10 the water pas~age 10 by the repulsive force of the permanent
magnet 15 and stagnate~ on the upstream side of the rotor 13.
To the water passing through the filter member 20, efective
com~ositions contained therein are gi~en, consequently the :~
~uality of water obtained from the outlet 9 can be graatly
15 improved.
Referring ~ext to the ope.rati~n of the second
embodiment, when the water passes through the narrow gap 24
within the connecting pipe 22 the flow r~t~ is increased an~
the outflow side of the narrow gap 24 i~ depressurized, :
20 ~ucking air into the flow from the air suction pipe 25 by the ~:
eje~tor action. The air produces innumerable bubbles in the
water, thereby oxygen is replenished into the water ~nd the
oxygen ion concentration of the water i5 raiqed higher by the
magneti~ fiel~. Furthermore~ the bubbles condense impurities
25 contained in the water and adsorb snto the surfaces, which

are removed while passing through the filter member 200 When
such constant magnetic substances as iron and nickel are
contained in the water as impurities, such impurities are
sucked by the permanent magnet 15 in the rotor 13 or the
5 small balls 27 of the filter member 20 comprising the
permanent magnets. When such diamagnetic substances as
mercury and lead are contained in he water as impurities,
such impurities ~re prevented from flowing down the water
passage 10 by the repulsive force of the permanent magnet 15
10 or the small balls 27, and stagnated within the hollow case
5~
Alsol between a number o~ ~mall balls 27 constituting
the filter member 20, very fine gaps are formed to make the
complicated water passages. When 1:h~ water passes through
lS the passages, since the contact area between the water and
the small balls 27 is large and both are contacting directly,
a str~nger magnetic field is applied to activate the water
more, assuring the removal of impurities in the water. As
the result, the quality of water obtained from the outlet 9
20 can be greatly improved.
~ eanwhile, operations of the embodiments 3, 4 are
similar to the above-noted embodiments, so their explanation
will be omitted.
Referring now ~o the fifth embodiment, shown in Figures 10
to 12, fille~ into the container 38, it penetrates through the
~ '~: .

p~rous wall of the rotor 13, passing -through the ~lits 45 of
the cover plate 42 and slits of the cap 55 and accumu~ ating
i~ the inner and outer compartmerlts of the rotor 13. In such
a state, the rotor 13 adsorb~ and filt2rs an offensive odor
5 and ~he other impurities contained in the water by the
adsorbing action of the porous wall and by the action of b~kuk-anseki
stones, and at th~ some time, the permanent magnet 15
produces the mag~etic field~ î~ the surrounding water or
activa~.ion , and raises the oxyyen ion concentration in the
10 wat~r.
After op0ning the plug 37 pr$or to drin:ki.ng and when the
rotor 13 is rotated axially by operating the operating handle
39 r the stirring means 40 begins to stir water and
replenishes oxygen thereinto. Also, by the rotation of the
15 permanent magnet 15, the magnetic field act..iny on the water
is rotated ~o accelerate the activation of water incre~sing
the oxygen ion concentration, thus healthful magn~tizatio~
treated waker can be obtained. When pouring the magnetiza-
tion tre~ted water 7 it can be effected by removing the plug
20 37 and op~ning the pouring ~outh 36.
In the sixth embodiment shown in Fig~ 13, when the lower
~projec~ion 73 is enga~ed to the engaging groove 68 from the
notch 68i the plate 75 is supported by the upper end suxface
o~ the cylinder portion 63, rotating the plug 37, the axis 53
25 and the rotor 13 ~y operating the handle. Also, in the
;~
11 3 ~
embodiment, by engaginy the two pro jections 72, 73 to eac~
engaging groove 6~, 67, and rotating in one direction, the
plug is retained tightly, and when they are removed upwardly .
through the notches 68, 69, the whole plug 37 includiny ~he
5 axis 53 may be removed.
The present invention is, as m~ntioned heretoore,
designed to arrange the rotor 13 having the magnetic fi~d
generator 12 in a passage or a reservoir of fluid, and to
rotate the same by rotating the rotating means to produc~ a
10 d.c.rotating magn~tic field in the surroundinys, so that
acti~ation of the fluid is effected effectively resulting in
a very efficacious improvement of the flui.d quality.
