Abstract: A stacked induction furnace system includes a first furnace having an induction coil to heat and melt a substantially non-conductive material contained in an upper crucible. The upper crucible contains an opening in a bottom surface thereof to drain molten material therefrom. A second furnace is positioned below the first furnace and includes a lower crucible to receive the molten material drained from the opening and is arranged to maintain the molten state of the material in the lower crucible. One or more power sources are provided to power the first furnace and the second furnace.
