ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetic field treating device includes a conduit formed of nonmagnetic material having an inlet and an outlet such that fluid can pass through the conduit in a direction which is parallel to the axis of the conduit, and a ferromagnetic core which includes a corkscrew shaped core portion which is positioned within the conduit in parallel spaced relation thereto. The electromagnetic fluid treating device also includes means for mounting the core in a fixed position within the conduit, and at least one electromagnetic coil which is electrically insulated from the conduit and is positioned adjacently outside of the conduit so that the central axis of each coil either intersects or nearly intersects the core. The electromagnetic fluid treating device preferably has one or two electromagnetic coils which are each mounted sidewardly from the conduit to face toward the ferromagnetic core such that the central axis of each coil is perpendicular to the conduit. Alternatively, the coil or coils could be entrained around the conduit. The electromagnetic fluid treating device preferably further includes a power supply means which is connected to the coils to provide an oscillating voltage across the coils. Preferably that voltage will oscillate within the radiofrequencxy range of about 1 kilohertz to 1,000 megahartz so that the coil or coils act as antennae emitting radio waves. The core may include a longitudinal ferromagnetic rod portion which extends axially inwardly into the conduit from near an upper end of the conduit. Such a ferromagnetic rod portion preferably would be connected to and coaxial with the corkscrew shaped core portion.
