Abstract: An induction heating element includes a primary conductive portion and a secondary conductive portion. The primary conductive portion is connected to a power source, and conducts electric current from the power source to generate a magnetic field that inductively heats a portion of the workpiece. The secondary conductive portion is electrically insulated from the primary portion, and receives an induced electric current from the primary portion to affect the magnetic field generated by the primary portion.
