		<description><![CDATA[Making neon signs and artwork is what got me started on the induction heater quest in the first place. So now we&#8217;ve come full circle. Most people won&#8217;t have any need to process neon signs, of course, but I post this installment just for the fun of it and to show some eye candy. In [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my last installment I briefly mentioned that soldering copper is difficult with induction heat. That is true unless one uses a flux concentrator. Well lo and behold we had a kit customer who was interested in heating small parts which also requires a flux concentrator so I took some time out to experiment. A [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Process heating is heating a material or device while that material is being processed. The process might be simple heating, melting or more complex tasks such as polymerization. While induction heating doesn&#8217;t spring to mind as the first choice in process heating &#8211; resistance heaters are usually used &#8211; it should. Resistance heating has several [...]]]></description>
