Abstract: Formation of the magnetically produced virtual diverging channel is
experimentally verified with the two permanent magnets set face to face and
inclined with each other, and the water is able to flow through it without
contact with the solid walls. The diverging angle increases with the increase
in the inclination of the magnets. The diverging angle of the flow follows
better to the inclination of the magnets with the increase in the concentration
of the magnetic fluids.
