Abstract
A solenoid coil includes a substantially parallel plurality of conductors on a flexible base. The flexible base is wound around a water pipe, body part or the like to provide a field for the treatment of fluids therein. An alignment mechanism is provided to substantially align a first level of parallel conductors to the next level of parallel conductors above the first level. Each wrap of the flexible base provides a number of conductor turns equal to the number of parallel conductors. In a second embodiment, a substantially parallel first plurality of conductors and a substantially parallel second plurality of conductors are disposed on a flexible base. A return conductor is provided on the flexible base to connect the first plurality of conductors to the second plurality of conductors. When wound around a fluid carrying pipe, the return conductor is disposed up flow (i.e., upstream) from the first and second plurality of conductors, so as to prevent destructive interference with the desired additive field within the pipe.
