Abstract
A filter for removing pollutants from gases, particularly exhaust gases, includes a plurality of paths for the gases to flow through and a source of magnetic field arranged to apply the magnetic field to the gases. Optionally, one or more heaters are also provide to raise the temperature of the gases to a predetermined temperature. As the hot gases through the passageway and the magnetic field, pollutants contained therein are effectively burned or otherwise removed from the gases.
Claims40
A magnetic filter for eliminating or reducing pollutants from exhaust gases, said filter comprising:
- a housing having an inlet for receiving exhaust gases with pollutants, and an outlet;
- and
- a magnetic filter element defining a plurality of flow paths for said exhaust gases between said inlet and the outlet;
- wherein said exhaust gases flow from said inlet through said flow paths to said outlet while the pollutants in said exhaust gases are substantially reduced.
A filter element for an apparatus adapted to eliminate pollutants from gases, said filter element comprising:
- a core with a plurality of holes defining gas passages for the exhaust gases;
- and
- means for applying a magnetic field to said core.
A filter for removing pollutants from gases comprising:
- an elongated housing having a gas inlet and a gas outlet;
- a plurality of pathways defined between said gas inlet and said gas outlet;
- and
- a magnetic field source arranged to apply a magnetic field applied to the pathways.
A method of removing pollutants from gases comprising:
- passing hot gases through a plurality of holes;
- and
- applying a magnetic field to said gases to cause the pollutants to be removed from said gases.
