I know that Dr. Duncan Cadd has made a small mini magnifier setup using an
induction coil, so it can be done, The theory of it is not much differant to
using any other power source for the coil. You just need to work out the
power output of the induction coil, and then run it through any of the tesla
calculation programs such as wintelsa to get the cap values and go from
there.
