Magnetic conditioning of fluids and gases flowing through a conduit or other containment vessel to achieve essentially uniform characteristics of said fluids and gases for the purposes of improved operation efficiency and performance quality of mechanisms and systems dependent on these liquids and gases. Specifically, the invention pertains to a combined application of advanced techniques including 1) use of magnets, preferably high flux density stabilized anisotropic magnets, 2) non-uniform flux density pairing, 3) magnetic field focused on an air gap using advanced insulative shielding and parallel alignment control, 4) incremental conditioning and 5) modular design.

1. An apparatus for magnetic conditioning of fluid and gas substances flowing through a conduit, said apparatus comprising one to eight two-part paired modules firmly mounted on an exterior surface of said conduit for fluids and gases, each part of the each module being substantially parallel to the other part of the module, there being present a magnet in each part of each module in direct contact to said conduit, wherein one of the magnets in each part of each module has a higher flux density than the magnet in the parallel part and the polarities and alignment of each of the magnets is such that there is created a mono-directional magnetic field normal to the direction of flow of said substances in said conduit and wherein the side of one of said magnets of said module facing said conduit is opposite in polarity to the polarity of the magnet face opposite to it.2. The apparatus claimed in claim 1 wherein two to eight paired modules are present.3. The apparatus claimed in claim 2 wherein all of said higher flux density magnets are adjacent to one another in the parts of said modules and all of the lower flux density magnets are adjacent to one another in the opposite parts of said modules.4. The apparatus claimed in claim 2 wherein the positioning of the higher flux density magnet and the lower flux density magnet are staggered in the parts of the modules.5. The apparatus claimed in claim 1 wherein spacing between the module parts are spaced in parallel alignment.6. The apparatus claimed in claim 1 wherein said magnets are heat stabilized anisotropic.7. The apparatus claimed in claim 6 wherein said magnets are either square or rectangular.8. The apparatus claimed in claim 6 wherein advanced insulative shielding is present.9. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein said shielding is formed of one-piece and encapsulates 2-5 faces of each of said magnets.10. The apparatus claimed in claim 8 wherein said shielding is formed of individual pieces and encapsulates 2-5 faces of each of said magnets.11. The apparatus claimed in claim 1 wherein the flux densities for the magnets is in the range of from about 2,200 Gauss for one magnet and about 3,850 to about 11,000 Gauss for the other magnet, with the proviso that the difference in flux density between the magnet of higher flux density to the magnet of lower flux density is at least about 800 Gauss.12. A process for magnetic conditioning of fluid and gas substances comprising passing fluid or gas substances through a conduit, by firmly mounting one to eight two-part modules on said exterior surface of said conduit, wherein each part of each module is substantially parallel to the other part of the module, there being present a magnet in each part of each module, wherein one of the magnets in each part of each module is of higher flux density than the magnet in the parallel part, aligning the magnets with opposite polarities on the side of each magnet facing said conduit, so that there is created a mono-directional magnetic field normal to the direction of the flow of said substances in said conduit and thereby creating a non-uniform flux density in an air gap in said modules to disrupt laminar flow of said fluids or gases and thereby increase their performance efficiency.13. The process claimed in claim 12 wherein the difference in flux density between the magnet of higher flux density and the magnet of lower flux density is at least about 800 Gauss.
