What is puzzling about the Induction Cooker experiment is that there seemed to have been an expectation of potential energy gain. The test circuit is essentially a high frequency (19 KHz ~40 KHz) transformer where the two windings are of necessity tightly coupled. That power is made available from the secondary winding with an efficiency of approximately 85% is not surprising. The type of loading is critical due to the induction cooker protective circuits. The Wiki article referenced earlier is a very good explanation of how the induction field is generated and what its properties are. Aye, it is very strange that anyone would expect some sort of overunity from this sort of an arrangement. Is "Tesla's Coil" supposed to be the magical aspect?
