The reclamation of new areas and distant lands with limited energy and material resources demands using resource- and energy-saving technologies. One of such technologies can be magnetic treatment of irrigating water and artificial manure solutions, and presowing treatment of seeds of agricultural crops in magnetic field. The authors found that magnetic field accelerates the velocity of chemical reactions, enhances salts and fertilizers solvability, and increases oxygen concentration in a solution. Magnetic field improves membrane cells permeability which accelerates molecules and ions diffusion through it. This process improves the ability of a seed to absorb water and increases the concentration of oxygen in a cell. Presowing treatment of seeds increases their ability of germination by 26–50%, sprouting by 20–30%. The best regime of water solutions and seeds of agricultural crops treatment in magnetic field is when magnetic induction is 0.065 Tl and the velocity of a solution is 0.4 m/s.

The reclamation of new areas or distant lands, which have limited energy and material resources, requires the use of energy saving technologies, which include presowing processing of seeds in magnetic field. The aim of this chapter is to reveal the effect that magnetic field has on seeds and to detect the most effective condition to process seeds in magnetic field before sowing and constructive parameters of the equipment. Magnetic field accelerates chemical reactions, which occur in plant cells, salts and fertilizers dissolve better, and the permeability of cell membranes increases, which accelerates the diffusion of molecules and ions. Due to this, the concentration of ions and oxygen molecules in a cell increases and seeds absorb water better. Presowing processing of seeds stimulate 25–40% seedling emergence and 30–35% germination. The most effective condition of presowing processing of seeds in magnetic field is 0.065 Тl magnetic induction with four times magnetic reversal and 0.4 m/s seed velocity. As a result, agricultural crop yield increases approximately by 20–25%.

The reclamation of new territories which are limited in energy and materials needs resource- and energy-saving techniques. One of such technique is the processing of water and artificial fertilizer solutions in a magnetic field. The aim of this research is to work out the impact of a magnetic field on water and solutions of artificial fertilizer and to find out the most effective way to process. The authors have figured out that a magnetic field enhances the speed of chemical reactions, the solvability of salts and fertilizers, and increases the concentration of oxygen in a water solution. The most effective processing of water solutions in magnetic field is when magnetic induction is 0,065 Тl, a four-time back magnetization takes place, and the velocity of a solution is 0.4 m/s. These parameters of the processing increase crop yield by 15-20%, decrease the consumption of artificial fertilizer by 10-15%, and enhances the product quality.

It is possible to increase crop yields and product quality through the use of electrophysical methods of pre-sowing seed treatment, among which pre-sowing seed treatment in a magnetic field is promising. For successful introduction of magnetic seed treatment in production it is necessary to establish mode parameters of treatment and their optimum values. To do this, it is necessary to establish the effect of the magnetic field on the change in activation energy during pre-sowing seed treatment. The aim of the study was to determine the change in activation energy during pre-sowing treatment of crop seeds in a magnetic field. To determine the change in the activation energy, the change in the biopotential of the seed during its treatment in a magnetic field was experimentally investigated by the experimental planning method. It was found that the change in seed biopotential depends on the square of the magnetic induction and the velocity of the seed in a magnetic field. An analytical expression was obtained that relates the change in activation energy to the change in seed biopotential, which made it possible to establish the dependence of the change in activation energy on the treatment parameters. It was found that the greatest seed biopotential and activation energy change at a magnetic induction of 0.065 T, a magnetic field gradient of 0.57 T/m and a velocity of 0.4 m/s. Under this mode of pre-sowing seed treatment of agricultural crops, the activation energy changes by 3.1 - 5.7 kJ/g-eq.

Salinity is an abiotic stress that reduces the seed germination and productivity of tomatoes. Magnetic treatment has been shown to have a positive effect on the seed germination, seedling growth, and productivity of various crop species. Therefore, three experiments were conducted to evaluate whether treating saline water or seeds with a magnetic field can improve the seed germination and productivity of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) under salinity stress. To evaluate seed germination and seedling growth in response to a magnetic field, two laboratory experiments were carried out by passing four saline water solutions of NaCl (0, 5, 10, and 15 dS/m) through a magnetic field (3.5–136 mT) or exposing tomato seeds to the same magnetic field for 20 min before sowing. In a greenhouse experiment, plants were irrigated with different magnetically-treated and untreated saline water solutions to evaluate plant growth. Magnetic treatment of water or seeds improved seed germination percentage, speed of germination (lower mean time to germination), and seedling length and dry weight in the two laboratory experiments, especially under salinity stress of 5 and 10 dS/m. As the salinity level increased, germination performance and plant growth were significantly decreased. Irrigating tomato plants with magnetically-treated water improved plant height, stem diameter, and fruit yield per plant compared to untreated water, especially under salinity of 0 and 5 dS/m. In conclusion, magnetic treatment of saline water or seeds improved germination performance, plant growth, and fruit yield of tomatoes under saline conditions.

Magneto Rheological Elastomers (MREs) are composite materials based on an elastomer filled by magnetic particles. Anisotropic MRE can be easily manufactured by curing the material under homogeneous magnetic field which creates column of particles. The magnetic and elastic properties are actually coupled making these MREs suitable for energy conversion. From these remarkable properties, an energy harvesting device is considered through the application of a DC bias magnetic induction on two MREs as a metal piece is applying an AC shear strain on them. Such strain therefore changes the permeabilities of the elastomers, hence generating an AC magnetic induction which can be converted into AC electrical signal with the help of a coil. The device is simulated with a Finite Element Method software to examine the effect of the MRE parameters, the DC bias magnetic induction and applied shear strain (amplitude and frequency) on the resulting electrical signal.

Laminar magnetohydrodynamic Marangoni-forced convection boundary layer flow of a water-based biopolymer nanofluid containing nanoparticles from a non-isothermal plate is studied. Magnetic induction effects are incorporated. A variety of nanoparticles are studied, specifically, silver, copper, aluminium oxide and titanium oxide. The Tiwari–Das model is utilized for simulating nanofluid effects. The normalized ordinary differential boundary layer equations (mass, magnetic field continuity, momentum, induced magnetic field and energy conservation) are solved subject to appropriate boundary conditions using Maple shooting quadrature. The influence of Prandtl number (Pr), magnetohydrodynamic body force parameter (β), reciprocal of magnetic Prandtl number (α) and nanofluid solid volume fraction (φ) on velocity, temperature and magnetic stream function distributions is investigated in the presence of strong Marangoni effects (ξ i.e., Marangoni parameter is set as unity). Magnetic stream function is accentuated with body force parameter. The flow is considerably decelerated as is magnetic stream function gradient, with increasing nanofluid solid volume fraction, whereas temperatures are significantly enhanced. Interesting features in the flow regime are explored. The study finds applications in the fabrication of complex biomedical nanofluids, biopolymers, etc.

That mechanical vibrations affect magnetisation has long been known. The simple experiment of hammering an iron rod (Gilbert) in the earth's magnetic field needs only to be mentionedAbout twenty years ago Ewing published investigations upon the effects of vibrations on magnetism. These have been summarised in his subsequent work, Magnetic Induction in Iron and other Metals. He states (§ 84, 3rd ed.) that the “influence of vibrations and mechanical disturbances generally” “may be succinctly described by saying that vibration lessens those differences of magnetic condition to which hysteresis gives rise. Thus, if we tap a piece of iron during the application and removal of a magnetising force, we find at each stage of the application that tapping increases the susceptibility, and at each stage of the removal it reduces the retentiveness.”

<p>A magnetic induction model has been applied to recordings obtained in 2010 during the field campaigns for geomagnetic measurements at the 26 repeat stations of the Romanian secular variation network. The model is based on the observation that a variable external magnetic field induces a response of the Earth's interior not only by electromagnetic induction, but also by magnetic induction in the magnetic rocks above the Curie temperature. The model computes coefficients of a linear relationship between recorded values of a certain geomagnetic element (X, Y, Z, or F) at the repeat station and recorded X, Y, Z values at a reference station (in this case, SUA observatory). Coefficients depend on magnetic permeabilities of rocks beneath the station and stand as a proxy for the anomaly bias characterizing the site. Maps of the lateral variation of this type of information were obtained and discussed.</p>

Permanent magnets of different intensities were used to investigate the effect of a magnetic field in the process of preventing deposits of calcium carbonate. The magnets were fixed on the water line from the tap outside. Then heating a sample of this water in flasks and measuring the amount of sediment in a manner weighted differences. These experiments comprise to the change of the velocity of water flow, which amounted to (0.5, 0.75, 1) m/sec through the magnetic fields that are of magnetic strength (2200, 6000, 9250, 11000) Gauss, and conduct measurements, tests and compare them with those obtained from the use of ordinary water.The results showed the effectiveness of magnetic treatment in reducing the rate of deposition of calcium carbonate where up to 60% after treatment, and this percentage is increasing with increasing magnetic field strength where up to 85% when the intensity of the magnetic field 9250 and 11000 Gauss at the velocity of the water flow of 0.75 m/sec. This percentage of reducing was investigated with increasing the velocity of flow of water through a magnetic field.
