A magnetic field parallel to the carbon arc in water was used to increase the directionality of moving carbon particles and generate carbon nano-materials. The products were analyzed and compared with those obtained without a magnetic field. The study shows that the purity and quality of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in the cathode deposition formed by an arc in water with a magnetic field were both improved, and cylinder-like carbon structures were also found in the deposition. The influence of the magnetic field on the formation of the products was analyzed.
