Method and apparatus for conditioning fluids

An apparatus, comprising:

• a magnetically conductive conduit having a fluid entry port, a fluid impervious boundary wall and a fluid discharge port defining a fluid impervious flow path through the magnetically conductive conduit, at least one end of the magnetically conductive conduit having a taper forming a planar surface extending from an outer surface of the magnetically conductive conduit to an inner surface of the magnetically conductive conduit forming an angle having an absolute value within a range from about 15° to about 75°;
• at least one electrical conductor comprising at least one length of an electrical conducting material having a first conductor lead and a second conductor lead, the electrical conductor coiled with at least one turn to form at least one uninterrupted coil of electrical conductor encircling at least a section of the outer surface of the magnetically conductive conduit, the at least one uninterrupted coil of electrical conductor having a length measurement in a range from 0.5 inches to 48 inches, at least one end of the uninterrupted coil of electrical conductor spaced a distance in a range from 0.00 inches to 14 inches from an end of the magnetically conductive conduit, the at least one uninterrupted coil of electrical conductor having a length to height ratio in a range of 1:1 to 1:6;
• and
• at least one electrical power supply operably connected to at least one of the first and second conductor leads, wherein the at least one uninterrupted coil of electrical conductor is thereby energized to provide a magnetic field having lines of flux directed along a longitudinal axis of the magnetically conductive conduit.
