That is the place to go to buy kits and complete induction heaters.09/16/09 Update - Please read this page for a basic description of the heater and then go here for a very significant upgrade.10/19/09 Update - Increase the power output of this heater to >1500 watts for less money than a rectified mains power supply using a Power Factor Correction (PFC) Board12/17/09 Update - The commercial auto-tune, auto-power-control version of this heater is almost ready for market. A new company has been formed, Fluxeon. Keep an eye on www.fluxeon.net for developments. Note: Please email Garett for any business-related inquiries. Only email me with technical questions, as I am not involved in the business.01/02/10 Update - My friend Jonathan has just put up a website here that documents his 2kW PLL self-tuning heater. I worked with him quite closely on this project. An excellent design.02/18/10 Update - See my new open source heater, the Royer architecture. Even better than this one.Presented here is an approximately 500 watt induction heater that you can build at home from commonly available parts. It is easy to build and easy to use and is capable of many metal heating applications. The particular heater shown here was designed for heating "getters" and electrodes in gas discharge lamp assemblies. The result is that the work coil is attached to the electronics box. It could easily be located in a "wand" at the end of a cable.I'm going to assume that you've read Richie's page that covers the theory of induction heating and specifically
