A magnetic pipe protector for protecting the interior of pipes from scaling, corrosion, and algae, comprises a flat, square neodymium iron boron magnet (10) having a concentrator (11) on its lower side for attachment to a steel pipe (14). A partially cylindrical joinder piece (12) is attached to the other side of the magnet. A cylindrical pole piece (15) with a partially cylindrical cut (18) is circumferentially spaced from the concentrator on the pipe. A connector (16) has partially cylindrical grooves (17) near its distal ends for accepting the joinder piece and the pole piece. The pole piece and the joinder piece, and thus the magnet and the concentrator, may be axially rotated within the grooves to allow the pipe protector to fit pipes of various sizes. The pipe protector projects a strong magnetic field into the interior of the pipe, completely perpendicular to the direction of the water flow (F). Water cutting the magnetic field produces an electrical current which charges the pipe negative enough for repelling and preventing scaling, corrosion, and algae.

A magnetic pipe protector intended for use upon a pipe and for protecting said pipe from harmful effects, said pipe being of the type that is made of magnetically permeable material, has a longitudinal axis, a convex curved outer surface, and an interior lumen, said magnetic pipe protector comprising: (a) a magnet having a pair of pole surfaces of opposite polarity, said pole surfaces having a predetermined area, and (b) a pole piece concentrator made of magnetically permeable material, said pole piece concentrator having a pair of oppositely facing surfaces, one of said oppositely facing surfaces being a proximal surface which abuts one of said pole surfaces of said magnet and the other of said oppositely facing surfaces being a distal surface which is distal to said magnet, said proximal surface being magnetically coupled to said one of said pole surfaces of said magnet and having an area equal to said predetermined area of said one pole surface of said magnet, said distal surface being concave and curved to conformingly mate with said convex curved outer surface of said pipe, when said distal surface is placed upon said pipe, said distal surface having an area smaller than said predetermined area so that said pole piece concentrator will concentrate and thus increase the magnetic flux density from the value present at said one pole surface of said magnet, (c) a joinder piece attached to the other pole surface of said magnet, said joinder piece being made of magnetically permeable material. (d) a connector piece attached to said joinder piece, said connector piece being made of magnetically permeable material, (e) a pole piece having a pair of oppositely facing surfaces, one of which is attached to said joinder piece, said pole piece being magnetically coupled to said other pole surface of said magnet via said connector piece and said joinder piece, said distal surface being concave and curved to conformingly mate with said convex curved outer surface of said pipe, when said distal surface is placed upon said pipe, said pole piece being made of magnetically permeable material, (f) said pole piece concentrator, said magnet, said joinder piece, said connector piece, and said pole piece all being held together magnetically to form an assembly, said assembly being held to said pipe magnetically when said distal surfaces of said pole piece and said pole piece concentrator of said assembly are positioned upon said pipe, (g) said pole piece concentrator, said magnet, said joinder piece, said connector piece, and said pole piece being shaped and sized so that when said distal surfaces of said pole piece concentrator and said pole piece of said assembly are positioned upon said convex curved outer surface of said pipe, said distal surface of said pole piece concentrator and said joinder piece will be circumferentially spaced on one side of said convex curved outer surface of said pipe, (h) said pole piece concentrator, said magnet, said joinder piece, said connector piece, and said pole piece, being connected so that when said distal surfaces of said pole piece concentrator and said pole piece of said assembly are positioned upon said convex curved outer surface of said pipe, said pole piece concentrator, said magnet, said joinder piece, said connector piece, and said pole piece, will form a closed, continuous, gapless assembly so that magnetic flux will travel from said magnet\s pole surfaces, through said pole piece concentrator, and through said joinder piece, said connector, said pole piece, and said wall of said pipe, (i) said magnet being strong enough so that, when said distal surfaces of said pole piece concentrator and said pole piece of said assembly are positioned upon said pipe, some of said magnetic flux in said concentrator will travel within said interior lumen of said pipe in a curved arc which is substantially perpendicular to said axis of said pipe, (j) whereby, when said distal surfaces of said pole piece concentrator and said pole piece of said assembly are positioned upon said pipe, any fluid flowing within said lumen of said pipe will cut said magnetic flux in said lumen at a substantially right angle so as to generate maximum electrical current.
