Abstract
A device for magnetically treating materials includes a base, and at least one magnet carried by the base to generate a magnetic field within the material. In some embodiments, the material may be within a container, and the magnetic field may be generated within the container to magnetically treat the material. The material may be a beverage and the magnetic treatment may enhance the flavor of the beverage, or may be an emollient and the magnetic treatment may change a characteristic of the emollient. The device may include a base, a plurality of tubular members extending upwardly from the base and arranged in spaced-apart relation to receive the material, and at least one magnet within each of the tubular members to generate a magnetic field within the material.

A device for magnetically treating material in a container, the device comprising:
- a base;
- at least three tubular members extending upwardly from said base and arranged in spaced-apart relation to define at least three points on said base receive the material in the container therebetween;
- and
- at least one magnet within each of said tubular members to generate a corresponding plurality of magnetic fields within the material.
A device for magnetically treating material in a container, the device comprising:
- a base;
- at least three tubular members integrally formed with said base and extending upwardly therefrom, said tubular members arranged in spaced-apart relation to define at least three points on said base to receive the material in the container therebetween;
- and
- at least one permanent magnet within each of said tubular members to generate a corresponding plurality of magnetic fields within material.
A device for magnetically treating material in a container, the device comprising:
- a base;
- at least three tubular members extending upwardly from said base and arranged in spaced-apart relation to define at least three points on said base to receive the material in the container therebetween;
- said tubular members slidably positioned on said base to facilitate repositioning thereof;
- and
- at least one permanent magnet within each of said tubular members to generate a corresponding plurality of magnetic fields within material.
A method for enhancing beverage flavor comprising:
- providing a device comprising a base, a plurality of spaced-apart tubular members extending upwardly from the base to define an imaginary cylinder therebetween, and at least one magnet within each of the tubular members;
- and
- positioning a container on the base and between the spaced-apart tubular members to expose a beverage in the container to a correspondingly plurality of magnetic fields to thereby enhance beverage flavor.
A method for changing characteristics of an emollient, the method comprising:
- providing a device comprising a base, a plurality of spaced-apart tubular members extending upwardly from the base to define an imaginary cylinder therebetween, and at least one magnet within each of the tubular members;
- and
- positioning a container on the base and between the plurality of spaced-apart tubular members to expose the emollient in the container to a corresponding plurality of magnetic fields to change the characteristics of the emollient.
A device for magnetically treating material in a container, the device comprising:
- a base;
- at least three elongate members extending upwardly from said base and arranged in spaced-apart relation to define at least three points on said base to receive the material in the container therebetween;
- and
- at least one magnet carried by each of said elongate members to generate a corresponding plurality of magnetic fields within the material.
