[TheForge] Induction Forge?

[Jerry Frost]

I don't think so Mikey.

Admitedly I don't know a lot about induction but the 
stock doesn't need to actually be inside a coil. It 
doesn't need to be a coil at all, a simple closed 
circuit will heat anything in the field without heating 
the circuit's conductor directly. Radiative heating 
makes coolant necessary in this case.

And here I was sooooo looking foreward to building a 
new propane forge. NOW I have to learn about these 
things. <grin>

If it ain't forged
it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
