Fun With an Induction Cooktop?

fishfrys writes "Besides generating heat quickly and efficiently in ferromagnetic pans, what sorts of fun things can you do with an induction cooktop? This seems like a pretty serious piece of electromagnetic equipment — boiling water can't be the only thing it's good for. I went to YouTube, expecting to find all sorts of crazy videos of unsafe induction cooktop shenanigans, but found only cooking. What sort of exciting, if not stupid, physics experiments can be performed with one? Hard drive scrubber? DIY Tesla coil? There's got to be something."

    Asking the question is not being a nerd. He should come up with his own ideas and the tell us what he did. He is not a geek, he is a script kiddie.

    Imagine if Linux would have asked Tanenbaum on how to make a good kernel.
