Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional magnetizers are inadequate for purposes beyond water purification, as they produce unstable and low-density time-varying magnetic flux lines, which can inadvertently magnetize surrounding objects and are costly due to high voltage power requirements.

Innovation Solution

A fluid magnetizer with a housing containing U-shaped electromagnetic devices and solenoids that generate a controlled, high-density alternate magnetic field using a power supplier producing 50 Hz or 60 Hz AC within a 20V-220V range, ensuring even magnetic flux distribution within fluid tanks or pipes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a conventional magnetizer uses a hollow cylinder housing with semi-circular magnets, then the structure is simple, but the magnetic flux lines are distributed with low density and insufficient magnetic strength

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidmagnetic flux line density
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetizer is divided into multiple electromagnetic devices (at least two EM devices) positioned at different locations around the fluid container. Each EM device consists of a U-shaped magnetic conduit with two solenoids disposed at both ends, creating multiple localized magnetic field sources that collectively provide high-density magnetic flux distribution throughout the fluid.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The U-shaped magnetic conduit acts as an intermediary structure that guides and concentrates magnetic flux lines between the two solenoids. This conduit ensures that magnetic flux lines are densely distributed along the fluid path while maintaining structural organization and preventing flux leakage to surrounding objects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Power

If a conventional magnetizer uses time-varying magnetic flux lines induced by an electrified solenoid, then magnetic field generation is achieved, but the magnetic flux lines are unstable, out of control, and leak to magnetize surrounding objects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic field generation capabilityVSAvoidmagnetic flux line stability and control
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The U-shaped magnetic conduit provides a closed magnetic circuit that naturally contains and directs magnetic flux lines. The symmetrical arrangement of two solenoids at both ends of the conduit creates balanced magnetic fields that cancel out leakage flux, providing inherent stability and control without requiring complex external feedback control systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs symmetrical (balanced) arrangement of electromagnetic devices around the fluid container, with each EM device having identical solenoid configurations. This symmetry ensures that magnetic flux lines are evenly distributed and contained within the conduit, preventing leakage to surrounding objects while maintaining stable, controlled magnetic fields throughout the fluid.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

3Power

If a conventional magnetizer uses high frequency electric current through a solenoid, then magnetic field induction is achieved, but the power supply requires high voltage and is more expensive

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the operating parameters by using standard AC voltage (20V-220V) at 50Hz or 60Hz frequency instead of requiring high frequency and high voltage. The U-shaped magnetic conduit with two solenoids is designed to efficiently generate the required magnetic fields at these standard parameters, eliminating the need for expensive high voltage power supplies while maintaining effective magnetic field induction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
