Trentatrons are 5 times
stronger than any ceramic magnet based water conditioning device
on the market!!
The most important factor in judging the performance of Magnetic
Water Treatment devices is the field strength they develop
inside the pipe and it's field alignment. However very few of the vendors of
these devices actually talk about the field strength inside the
pipe let alone the field alignment.
Most want to talk about the gauss rating of the
material in their magnets. In an open magnetic circuit, surface gauss measurements are always
much lower than the gauss rating of the material. Don't confuse
material ratings with actual in the pipe flux density
measurements. Material rating is only one factor in
determining actual magnetic field densities inside the pipe.
Trentatrons are designed with
a heavy steel frame to
shape and magnify the flux field inside the pipe.
Trentatrons are also designed
to align the flux field so that it crosses directly across the
water flow for maximum reaction with the hydrogen atoms in the
water. The flux field doesn't bounce around the sides of the
pipe as other designs do.
For a better understanding here are some photos of measurements of a C5
Ceramic magnet of the type used in nearly all other MWT devices,
then a small N50 Neodymium block magnet, then a sequence of
photos of our line of
Trentatrons. The TAT-1 model uses N40 Neodymium magnets
and is designed for pipes sizes up to 1 1/4" copper pipe or 1" PVC
pipe. The TAT-2 model uses N35 Neodymium magnets and is
designed for pipes sizes from 1 1/2" to 2" copper pipe or 1 1/4"
to 2" PVC pipe. Our model TAT-21 uses massive
2x2x1 N40 Neodymium magnets for the highest possible flux
densities (using permanent magnets). The TAT-21 is designed
for pipes sizes from 1 1/2" to 2" copper pipe or 1 1/4" to
2" PVC pipe also.
In the sequence shots of the
Trentatrons note
the build up of flux field density as the
Trentatrons
heavy Steel Frame is added.
Also note that the surface flux reading of a bare magnet is much
lower than the Br rating of the material. The Ceramic
magnet has a Br rating of 3,800 Gauss yet the flux level measured
directly on the magnet is 514 Gauss.
The N50 Neodymium
block magnet has a Br rating of 14,700 Gauss. The N40 Neodymium
magnets we use in the
Trentatron TAT-1 and TAT-21 unit have a rating of 12,700
Gauss yet surface readings are only 3900 Gauss until we add them
to the Trentatrons
heavy steel frame. The N35 Neodymium magnets we use in the
Trentatron TAT-2
unit have a rating of 12,100 Gauss.

Can you guess which magnet is actually the
strongest (pull force) magnet. The N50 cube magnet has the
highest flux reading, followed by the N40, the N35, and then
lastly the C5 magnet. The magnet with the highest "Pull
Force" is our N40 magnet (TAT-21) at 186 pounds, followed
by the large N35 magnet (TAT-2) at 84 pounds, followed by our N40 magnet
(TAT-1)at 66 pounds, then the C5 Ceramic magnet at 40 pounds, and last is
the N50 cube magnet. Why is this? Pull force is
related to both the size of the magnet and the Gauss rating of the
material. While the N50 material has by far the highest flux
density, this cube magnet is the smallest in size. The
formula for finding the pull force of cube magnets is as follows:
Pull Force
= 0.576 x BrČ x (Th) x √‾A where
Br = Flux
Density in KiloGauss
Th =
Thickness of Magnetized Surfaces in inches
A =
Surface Area (L x W) in inches
All of the
magnets we use are the strongest magnets currently available.
These magnets are potentially dangerous! Due to their
extreme attractive force they can:
 |
Jump out of your hands and snap together
from a SURPRISING DISTANCE before you realize what is happening.
|
 |
Pose a serious pinch hazard due to their
attractive force on each other and to any metal object containing
iron.
|
The TAT-21
magnets are especially dangerous. The two magnets in this
unit if allowed to come together would have a combined attractive
force of 371 pounds. These units must be installed and
handled with care by "adults only". Safety glasses are
recommended and gloves should be considered. They are
brittle and if allowed to fly together could potentially shatter.
They are safe as long as you maintain a tight grip and
concentrate on your work area and assembly technique.
To really
understand the power of our heavy steel frame and these powerful
magnets please take a look at the following photos. We used
two of our TAT-2 steel frames and one TAT-21 magnets to
test the pull force of the magnet. You can see in the first
photo that the bottom frame is only being held in place by
the TAT-21 magnet (Pull Force= 185.8 pounds). The second
photo is of a 5 horsepower garden tiller with an additional 70
pounds of dumbbells being suspended by the pull force of the
magnet. The third is of a young lady weighing 130 pounds
swinging from this arrangement. Since I weigh 190 pounds it
wouldn't hold me and I fully tested the safety rope I had in
place.
