A combination of the features of Bob Winter’s Model 3 C Winter Sink Trap and of centrifugal cleaners used by the
newsprint industry may be an improvement to Mr. Winter’s water trap design.
Centrifugal cleaners are used to remove grit and dirt from water and wood fibres that newsprint paper is made
from. In centrifugal cleaners the heavier grit particles spin to the outside of a tapered cone and are
rejected downwards for further screening. In this application the accepts are wood fibres and water, and they
travel upwards out of the cone.
In a trap to screen out M-state elements we want only the light anti-magnetic elements that have been “made free”
from the large water molecule clusters by the small but powerful magnets. M-state elements are repelled from the
magnets inwards to a central vortex that travels upwards. Multiple traps can be used to try to further raise the
concentration of M-state elements in the accepted water.
Bob Winter’s Model 3 C Winter Sink Trap (See photo below) was selected as being the most promising design to use
and develop if possible.
I spent many years in newsprint industry so that experience was drawn upon. A diagram of a Centrifugal Cleaner for
the newsprint industry (See photo below) gives a reasonably clear indication of the principle features of these
units.
The handyman version of the combined water trap has an overall height of nearly twice that of the centrifugal
cleaner cone section to provide space for the upper section’s 80 neodymium magnets. The cone section is made from
wood, in two halves, and has 36 magnets inserted into the wood. A second smaller trap has fewer magnets.
Each trap has two inlet nozzles (See photo below), set at 180 degrees apart, that direct the water tangentially
into the upper chamber. The nozzles are those used by handyman sealant tubes, with the end cut to give the desired
size of hole. The nozzle mount is a tap adapter made to suit ½ and ¾ inch hose taps – the reducer has to have the
hole made slightly larger to suit the nozzle. The PVC slip to faucet adapter is cut and shaped to suit the trap
tube diameter.
The Magnetic-Centrifugal Traps (See photo below) use a total of 194 (116 plus 78) neodymium magnets 3/8th inch
diameter by 1/8th inch thickness.
The larger unit has eight magnets in the top row, plus six rows of twelve magnets and a further 36 embedded in the
wooden cone sections inside the tube. A central removable pipe extracts the accepts water that is fed to the
smaller unit.
The smaller unit is similar, except for the removable end caps. (The lower cap is removable on the larger unit.)
There are five magnets in the top row, plus 5 rows of nine magnets, and a further 28 are embedded in the wooden
cone sections inside the tube.
Magnet Flux – Small Trap (See photo below) uses some magnetite iron sand to indicate the magnetic flux pattern
within the tubes. They are located on 3/8th inch steel washers stuck on the tubes with superglue, and in 10mm
holes in the cones with Araldite epoxy adhesive. All magnets are positioned with the South pole facing towards the
trap tube centre line.
Trap Cones (See photo below). This photo shows the smaller size cone for the 85mm inside diameter tube. The cone is
about 83mm in diameter. The cone sections have epoxy resin on the inner cone faces and a polyurethane finish on all
the other surfaces.
I used a small tool of wood with a screw at the end for the magnets to “stick” to, to put the magnet in the hole,
and then slid the screw to the side before pressing the magnet to displace adhesive from the hole with the corner
of the tool.
All end caps are strengthened to withstand the pressures inside the tubes during normal operation conditions. The
materials used are more readily available than those that are able to withstand the full mains water pressures, and
are also less expensive. Garden hose fittings are used extensively.
The inlet water to the first tube passes first through a nozzle that serves to restrict the flow to the desired
rate (rather than relying on turning the tap on to a precise setting to get that ‘desired’ rate each time.) You
simply turn it on for say six turns or so. On my units I have a 3/16th first nozzle, 3/16th first unit nozzles and
1/8th inch second unit nozzles.
Trap Mounting (See photo below). This photo lets you get an idea about how the larger trap is held. It is free to
rotate, and the top piece of plywood is removable – it has a groove that locates the rim of the extra cap (fitted
for strength at both ends of the trap). There is a similar grooved bracket below the big trap.
M-C Traps Installation (See photob below). This shows the general arrangement.
Setting up the traps was done to minimize the pressure required to get an adequate flow to the second unit for a
reasonable spin rate inside the cones. The traps rely on the M-state elements anti-magnetic properties and their
reduced density characteristics plus a robust (I hope) central vortex to carry them out for collection.
Firstly, a small amount of polyester rope was put into the accepts discharge pipe, to present a very small
resistance to the flow.
Secondly the valves at the waste discharge fittings were closed a little at a time to 1). Cause the accepts to flow
at about 100 mils a minute, and 2). Cause the flow from the waste discharge for each trap to be approximately equal
at about 8 litres per minute.
I use a simple spreadsheet to enter the volume and time figures for the waste flow from trap 1, the waste flow from
trap 2, and the accepts flow. From these data we determined the following: New settings (22 August 2004)
210 gph to Trap 1
49% to waste 1
51 % to Trap 2
98.75 % to waste 2
1.25 % to accepts, or 1.34 gph.
Ratio 156 : 1 input to output, or 0.638 %
