Hi list, 

 I have been in a local plant here in Adelaide that used the devices below 
to heat continuous lengths of pipe to a glowing red hot before coating with 
a powdered protectant. The field generated around these machines was 
awesome, (three in a row). They each had their own 3 phase supply panel 
and operated at a supply voltage of 9kv/500Kva, each! I remember each 
panel being hooked up to the field coils with cables as thick as a mans 
leg. The first time I stood near one it destroyed my lcd watch and I swear 
that as you moved your head/shoulders you could 'feel' the field. As there 
was an operator with his head almost inside the machines making sure 
everything was going to plan I can't help thinking about where he is today! 

Best Regards 

 Robin.
