Magnet Mysteries
Laboratory studies on the effects of magnets — not only on fuel, but also water, human blood; just about any liquid — have been carried out for decades. These studies noted that magnets could break larger clusters into smaller clusters, even without adding heat. Many studies also claim that the Hydrogen element of a HydroCarbon (HC) fuel — like gasoline or diesel — would change from Para-Hydrogen to Ortho-Hydrogen. This change makes the fuel molecule react more readily with oxygen, releasing more energy into the combustion process. The difference between Para- and Ortho-Hydrogen is the spin of the outer orbital electron.
Magnet Myths
Liquids are “Clusters” of tiny solids floating around each other. Using water as an example, as temperatures get colder, the clusters get larger until they all become one huge cluster — ice! At the other end, as temperatures rise, the clusters get smaller until they finally break up completely and become humidity — free-floating molecules, not bound within a cluster. Magnets have the potential to break large clusters apart into smaller clusters, without additional heat, which aids vaporization.
The rumor mill has it that magnets on the fuel line simply don’t work for improving fuel economy. When you look at the installation on vehicles that claim magnets don’t work, it almost immediately becomes obvious why it didn’t work. Here are a few ways NOT to install magnets on the fuel line.
First, most installations use only 1 magnet. When the fuel passes through the magnetic field, certain charges within the fuel are attracted while other charges are repelled, which stretches the clusters. However, once the fuel leaves the magnetic field, the clusters simply relax back to their former state. In other words, no (or very few) clusters were broken up.
The second wrong way to use magnets is to wrap them on a steel fuel line. The ferrous content of the steel disperses the magnetic flux. The fuel never sees the magnetic field, it’s carried away by the steel fuel line.
The third wrong way to attempt a magnetic economizer is to use fridge magnets. Lab studies show that it takes at least 8k to 12k Gauss magnets to have any noticeable effect on the fuel clusters. Too many magnetizer type installations use magnets too weak for the job.
A good fourth wrong way to use magnets is to only use one field. Using only 1 magnet is an example. Another example is putting magnets in series along the fuel line. The magnetic field may start with a South Pole influence and gradually move to a North Pole field, but there is no “snapping” of the flux. The fuel should be stressed with North on one side and South on the other. This should then be reversed. More reversals are better. The North of the 1st magnet will align to the South of the 2nd, to the North of the 3rd, and so forth. In other words, stacked magnets will self-align to the desirable orientation.
Lastly, the magnets must be durable. Certain metallurgies loose their magnetic strength easily. The heat of the engine compartment can severely weaken many magnets. Stray magnetic fields from fuel injectors, ignition coils, and even the alternator can also weaken them. Good magnets are the rare-earth types, with high magnetic strength, with durable flux fields.
Our Magnetic Heat Exchanger (MHE) is a proven product that follows these rules.
