A closed wall having an electrically conductive inner surface forming an electrode. A body is mounted within the wall cooperating with the wall to an orbital path for the flow of fluid, and a second conductive electrode passes through the center of the body. A flux field is induced parallel to the axis of the wall. An inlet and outlet are provided at opposite ends of the helical body for circulation of electrically conductive fluid, through the path perpendicular to the flux field.
