A compact induction heating system for use on an internal combustion engine driven implement having an engine driven alternator to generate DC current for storage in a battery used as a source of clean DC current of less than 50 volts for ignition of fuel in the engine, the system comprises a high frequency inverter with an input connected to the clean DC current source, a first current conductive path including a first capacitor and a first switch closed to cause DC current to flow in the first path and across the first capacitor, a second current conductive path including a second capacitor and a second switch closed to cause DC current to flow in the second path and across the second capacitor, a single load inductor in both of the paths with DC current flowing in a first direction through the inductor when the first switch is closed and in a second opposite direction through the inductor when the current is closed and a gating circuit to alternately close the switches at a driven frequency to control heating by the load inductor. |
