Apparatus and method for treating substances using asymmetric-vector electrical fields

A apparatus for treating a fluid, the apparatus comprising:

• a coil structure having a central bore for passing the fluid therethrough;
• a first circuit comprising a rectifier diode and a capacitor in parallel connection;
• a second circuit comprising a first coil wound on a first section of the coil structure and a second coil wound on a second section of the coil structure;
• and
• a third circuit comprising a third coil wound on the second coil and a fourth coil wound on a third section of the coil structure;
• wherein the first coil and the second coil are wound in a first winding direction;
• wherein the third coil and the fourth coil are wound in a second winding direction opposite to the first winding direction;
• wherein a starting point of the first coil is connected to an ending point of the second coil and connected to a first alternate-current (AC) input terminal;
• wherein an ending point of the first coil is connected to a starting point of the second coil and connected to an anode of the rectifier diode;
• wherein a starting point of the third coil is connected to an ending point of the fourth coil and connected to a second alternate-current (AC) input terminal;
• and
• wherein an ending point of the third coil is connected to a starting point of the fourth coil and connected to a cathode of the rectifier diode.
