Patent 7718059 was granted and assigned to Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute on May, 2010 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
An apparatus for producing magnetized water. The apparatus comprises a plurality of magnet bars arranged in a radial manner, in which each magnet bar is structured such that a plurality of neodymium based permanent magnets is stacked in a stainless steel pipe in a manner such that like poles of the permanent magnets face each other. Thanks to this structure, the apparatus has a large contact area between the magnetic field and water flowing through the apparatus, thereby activating water by changing the structure of water. In more detail, the apparatus comprises a magnet bunch including a plurality of fixed magnet bars, a plurality of standard magnet bars, an upper plate disposed on upper ends of the fixed and standard magnet bars, a lower plate disposed on lower ends of the fixed and standard magnet bars, and a spacing plate disposed between the upper and lower plates; a housing having a cylindrical main body for enclosing the magnet bunch therein, an opening in an upper end portion thereof, and a lower part having a funnel shape and a liquid passage; and a cover 50 for covering the opening of the housing, the cover being coupled to the housing in a detachable manner and having a funnel shape and a liquid passage.
