Looking at that link one can clearly see that induction heating would require about 20 times the electricity the standard home microwave oven uses. (750 watts)
The picture shows a copper rod of about 3/4 inch diameter being heated along a 4 to six inch length and is ONLY using 15,000 watts of electricity.
Just as long as you understand the amount of "juice" you are going to require.
