Um, witchcraft.

An induction heater works basically by running electricity through an electromagnet. The floating part in the middle is the piece of metal being melted. It appears to be suspended because the magnets are holding it in place.

Electrical current is flowing through the coil of copper. Strong electromagnetic fields are formed which suspend the piece of metal, and make eddy currents flow in the piece of metal. Great power is dissipated as the current flows against the resistance of the metal, the power heats the metal. Ahh here you go:

Magnets, how do they work?

Look around you.

The demonfire in the metal is being brought out by the holy water running through the pure copper pipes.....so basically a metal exorcism.

Anybody else was thinking "Put the goddam pencil in the middle of that molten metal already!!" ?

I was wondering what would happen at the end, or if they'd thought of that and if it would turn into a surprise fail video.

There's something about the humming and the floating and the heat that had me expecting shit to fly completely off the rails at any moment.

When the pencil came in I was fully expecting to hear a loud crack and see molten metal everywhere.

In Soviet Russia this is how you make pancakes.

How i imagine refining asteroid steel in space would look like.
