I am stunned that I never thought of this idea.  It's the same principle as
inductive stove tops.  It is also used industrially to heat large slabs of
steel.
  Being an old Dutchman on a fixed income, I don't want to spend the money,
but I will be experimenting with a coil of wire attached to my AC arc
welder.
