Magnetic Treatment for Fuel Economy
In 1991, in the UK, the Department of Trade and Industry's testing laboratory at Warren Spring tested a magnetic device for improving fuel economy on a Vauxhall Cavalier and found "fuel consumption improved, power increased and emissions reduced. A Volvo F10 truck tested for particulate smoke emissions showed a decrease of 15%."
In July 1999, Landrover Monthly magazine tested a magnetic device which gave them a 15% improvement in mpg on a 4.2 V8 Defender.
You will find articles on fuel economy in the Sceptics page and the Experts page
How does it work?
No-one knows. One theory is that the magnetic treatment on the fuel line causes a more complete mix of fuel and air in the combustion chamber. Professor Kronenberg on the Experts page suggests that the fuel may be 'refined' further by the magnetic field 're-cracking' some of the larger fuel molecules so that they can burn more completely.
Does it just work on petrol?
It seems to work on any fuel that will flow through a pipe. Petrol, diesel, light and heavy oil, natural gas, LPG, propane, butane. Some salesmen use butane lighters to demonstrate the effects of magnetic treatment.
I've heard reports that in power stations using a coal slurry, the injected steam can be magnetically treated to give a similar fuel economy.
Does the same device work on vehicles and boilers/Hot water units?
Yes, and no. When the vehicle devices were first used on heating boilers and burners, some results were disappointing. Then it was noticed that some results were disappointing on stationary test bed engines as well. It seems that the vibration or 'jiggle' from movement along a road made the magnets more effective. So most designs for boilers have several poles in close proximity to simulate that 'jiggle' or rapid change in field experienced by road vehicles.
And boiler units seem to work fine on vehicles.
Is it easy to fit?
Yes, just apply as many as required to the vehicle or boiler fuel line and strap them in position.
However, there is a problem with modern computer-controlled-ignition vehicles. These computers 'sniff' the exhaust and adjust the fuel/air mixture to produce an emissions level that matches the level the manufacturer decided was the level for best performance.
Now the magnetic devices have been shown to reduce the levels of emissions, so the computer would then detune the engine to restore the emissions to the original level. So fitting a magnetic device could degrade the performance of the vehicle so that there is no overall improvement.
However, there is a solution. If the magnetic device is fitted while the engine is hot and running, the computer sees it as a natural change and adjusts to compensate. So you can get lower emissions and higher performance on computer-controlled-ignition vehicles.
How do you know it is working?
Many vehicles have MPG meters and economies can be seen straight away. Many suppliers will provide charts to help customers calculate economies. When I tried it, I found a noticeable increase in bottom end power.
But some suppliers will not sell to commercial installations unless they have a good testing procedure and keep good enough records to demonstrate how effective the devices are.
Is it worth trying?
Only if you can get a good money back guarantee. There are devices on sale that do not work well.
FOR PEOPLE
Magnotherapy
Magnotherapy is the application of a magnetic field to a living body to assist healing. Magnotherapy is not new, it has been used for hundreds of years to help relieve pains and accelerate the natural healing process. In recent times magnotherapy has become more popular for four reasons,
1. The interest in complimentary remedies for conditions that conventional medicine does not always help.
2. The improvements in magnet technology which have made stronger and more effective magnets available.
3. The ease of application and relative cost of magnotherapy treatments.
4. Magnotherapy's non-invasive nature and lack of harmful side effects.
The effects of Magnotherapy
Magnotherapy has two distinct benefits, pain reduction and a general revitalising of the body by increasing the effectiveness of the body’s blood circulation. Users have reported an increase in energy, improved recovery time after exertion, improved sleeping, and a general feeling of well-being
A recent study, published in the British Medical Journal, funded by the Arthritis Research Campaign, said “wearing a magnetic bracelet does reduce pain in people with hip and knee osteoarthritis”. There are abstracts and references to studies on this site. You will see the effects on circulation in Thermal on the left.
Magnotherapy treatments
There are three different ways of applying magnotherapy for people and animals using magnetic devices.
1. The standard approach is to use magnetic modules over pulse points using bracelets and wristbands for people, collars and cuffs for animals, treating the blood as it flows under the module. The blood then seems to treat the rest of the body.
2. A cluster of modules made up into a small pad can be applied to various parts of the body using elastic belts and bandages. Larger magnetic pads can be used on chairs and beds.
3. Magnetic modules can be used to magnetically treat drinking water and other fluids for drinking.
How does it work?
No-one knows. There are many theories, look at the scientific forums that discuss these issues, but no consensus or proof is yet available. Proof requires a series of replicated studies, so far most studies have been original studies on some aspect of magnotherapy.
Will it work for me?
Again, no-one can know. As we don't know how it works, we cannot know whether it will work for any individual. In all the studies that have been done there have been some people who found it ineffective and there is no indication as yet of why those people are different.

There are many different way of applying magnotherapy and it may be the first method you tried was not right for you, but others might be. For example, there are three different types of magnotherapy mentioned above. You can try each in turn, or all three at once. As long as you have that money back guarantee, you can afford to keep trying.
Magnotherapy Water Treatments
There are only a few studies on the effects of magnetically treated water on health and almost all have been done on plants and animals, but what's good for the goose might also be good for the goose-boy see Prof Lin below
People
The Ohno Institute was established by Dr. Yoshitaka Ohno to foster research, education, training, and the dissemination of information on health and aging disorders. Its focus for the past five years has been on studying and promoting the benefits of naturally magnetized water. This is one of their studies.
Effects of Naturally Magnetized Water on Memory Loss Delay in Alzheimer's Disease
A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled design was conducted at a Special Care Alzheimer's residential facility. Subjects in group exposed to experimental treatment (naturally magnetized water) demonstrated no decline in scores on memory testing over a 20 week period Subjects in control group showed a significant decline in scores
Plants and Animals
Professor Israel Lin believes "magnetized water increases the solubility of minerals and therefore improves the transfer of nutrients to all parts of the body, making the organism work more efficiently". See Experts
Lin said: "The change of the water's properties is the key". His findings over a three year trial were:
- Cows produced more milk; had fewer milkless days; conceived more easily, due to increased health and vitality (better than bovine growth hormone).
- Calves not only weighed more than the control group, they were leaner!
- Sheep produced more meat; milk; wool;
- Geese grew bigger; chickens and turkeys laid more eggs and were prolific for a longer period of time.
- More dramatically, the mortality rate was reduced with less feed!
Professor Klaus Kronenberg, while at California State Polytechnic, contributed to the pioneering work in agriculture. He treated irrigation water with magnets. He says
"magnets actually change the nucleus of water and that is the source of its seemingly magical properties. A diet of magnetized water makes cows give more milk, chickens grow fatter and lay more eggs. and cantalupes and other crops grow larger and have better yields with less fertilizer.”
Some specifics of his research are:
- Two control groups of 24 piglets, each with normal feeding were compared with two groups of 24 piglets that were getting their water from magnetic treatment. The latter groups consumed twice as much water and grew an average 12.5 percent faster.
- Cotton plantings with various irrigation were compared in California. The cotton plants irrigated with magnetically treated water grew to larger and denser foliage.
- A Washington navel orange tree was watered with magnetically treated water. Each orange became unusually thick and juicy, weighing 20 ounces, on average. A Eureka lemon tree fed magnetic water carries lemons that grow up to one pound each.
One biologist suggests that reduced surface tension of the magnetically treated water facilitates its penetration of cell walls. This could accelerate the normal dividing of the cells in growing parts of living individuals. The accelerated growth of plants by the use of magnetically treated water is possible because the root tips secrete enzymes that dissolve crystals in the ground, enabling the roots to ingest the dissolved minerals. This is not the case for one-cell organisms that pollute water. Algae and bacteria have to ingest their food directly through the cell wall. They get plenty of water through it, but they cannot receive any nourishment in the form of crystallized minerals, which cannot penetrate the cell walls. Thus bacteria in magnetically treated water starve. Observations on swimming pools seem to confirm this effect.
Advanced Technology, Ltd. ( Five year study) Field findings:
- Advanced ripening in all cases
- High quality, bigger fruits; 33% fewer inferior grade.
- Increased production and yield.
- Further growth/superior after season growth, while untreated plants started showing dryness.
- Superior uniformity
- Fertilizers were assimilated better
- All plants developed improved stress resistance.

Magnetic Water Treatment For Limescale
Hard Water and Limescale
The problems associated with hard water are the result of our natural water supply filtering through sedimentary rock (particularly limestone and chalk) and the water absorbing additional minerals. These minerals form chemical compounds which form layers of scale in plumbing and appliances.
Government research shows that just 6mm of limescale (an average of 4 years accumulation) reduces energy efficiency by 40%. For the average household that means nearly £200 per annum extra in fuel costs. Add to that extra cleaning products, chemicals to soften the water, reduced appliance life, increased maintenance and the true cost of hard water is revealed.
Traditional Water Softeners
These are designed to remove the compounds that cause hardness. Water passes through the softener containing resin beads which attract the compounds and are cleaned with chemicals.
Households fitted with a water softener must leave at least one tap connected to the rising main to provide safe drinking and cooking water. There is growing concern by environmentalists over this type of softener as the used chemicals become yet another 'waste' product disposed of into the Ecosystem.
Magnetic conditioning devices
The UK Drinking Water Inspectorate says
“Some of these devices have been shown to be effective in reducing the amount of fur or scale that actually sticks to pipes or heating elements. They do not soften water. However, not all products on the market give satisfactory performance. You are advised not to buy one of these devices unless the supplier will agree to a sale or return, subject to satisfactory performance.”
Cranfield University,UK, says
"The subject of Antiscale Magnetic Treatments remain controversial and are still labelled as gadgetry in some scientific circles. The debate is understandable; for many years the positive effects well documented in trade literature resulting from industrial applications have been undermined by the apparent lack of good results from laboratory tests. In addition, some manufacturers continue to promote ineffective devices (with dubious literature) for applications where no real evidence exists, anecdotal or otherwise to show that they could ever, or have ever worked. However, many devices on the market have reasonably good track records, but even these have occasionally proven ineffective in certain situations.
One thing is for sure - there is an interaction between a magnetic field and crystallising matter which can, on occasions affect its scaling behaviour. As engineers we are primarily interested in deducing a satisfactory design basis and the conditions under which the process will repeatedly work, as scientists we want to know how it works."
Trinity College Dublin says
"This is a controversial subject. Tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of devices have been sold worldwide which purport to control limescale formation from hard water. Some involve steady magnetic fields, low-frequency or radio-frequency ac fields, others create electrostatic fields. Our work so far has been aimed at discovering whether or not there is anything to explain. In our experiments, water is passed through a magnetic field produced by permanent magnets. A first series of blind tests was conducted on well water drawn through a commercial magnetic device and a second series involved pouring out mineral water with a magnetic collar around the neck of the bottle. In every case there was a control where no magnetic field was applied. Limescale was produced by heating the water to 80 °C afer waiting for some time ti and the scale was examined by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Two structural polymorphs of CaCO3 - calcite and aragonite - were identified in the study conducted by Stephen Cass. Aragonite has the higher density, and it is less prone to form hard scale The remarkable results are i) that at the 99.9 % probability level the scale from treated water contained more aragonite than scale from untreated water, and ii) that the effect of magnetic treatment persists for more than 200 hours. "
As you can see, there seems to be a consensus that something happens to reduce scale, but no-one yet knows the mechanism. If you wish to try it for yourself, get a good money back guarantee and if it doesn't work, try another make that also has a good money back guarantee
PLANET
Global Warming
“Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world's scientists are right, we have just a few years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced"
AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, Al Gore’s 2006 film about Global warming , makes it quite clear.

Thermal Camera Photos
These thermal photos were part of a collection on the web by a manufacturer of Scientific Thermal Cameras. These photos were produced to demonstrate the usefulness of thermal imagning in studies on circulation. There was a beautiful photo of a pregnant horse, but the site is no longer in use. http://home1.gte.net/infrared/ba1.htm
I have saved these sequences of thermal photos showing the effects of magnets on the temperature of extremities, in these cases, fingers. It is believed that the subject was the photographer's mother standing with her hands against the back of a chair.
The first sequence was done using a Nikken magnet.
Thermal Camera Photo Sequence without a Magnet
Female subject - 74 years of age. The images are animated in time sequence over a period of five minutes to confirm the consistency of the subject's poor circulatory activity in the hands. Note that there is total cutoff ... the fingers don't appear on the image. This lack of activity was evident over a period of five minutes. No change occurs. (6 images in series)
Thermal Camera Photo Sequence with Magnet on arm
The same subject immediately after a magnet was taped with bandaid to the vicinity of the elbow as indicated. There is a cool blue/purple zone where the magnet is located initially. This heats up over the time period involved. Note the dramatic change in circulation to the fingers and torso occurring in this series of 13 views. The magnet used was the size of a silver dollar. Although the magnet is on one arm only, note that both sets of fingers warm up at the same rate
Special Note: The above examples are from a single test conducted using the magnets on one person, on one day. These pictures illustrate that it would be useful for more extensive testing to be conducted using thermal imaging in a scientific environment.
These next sequences were done on a different day using a Theramagnet neodymium magnet.
Thermal Camera Photo Sequence without a Magnet
Subject is the same 74 year old female with circulation problems.
Time sequence of 7 images animated from 9:46 until 9:52 am. June 28, 1999.
Note that fingers are in the blue zone for cold.
Thermal Camera Photo Sequence with dummy Magnet
A dime was applied to the subject's right wrist (image left) as a placebo test.
Time sequence was from 9:53 until 9:57 am June 28, 1999.
Thermal Camera Photo Sequence with neodymium Magnet
Neodymium magnet applied to wrist.
Note change to fingers over sequence of 9 images for short period of time from 9:59 - 10:03
