Given that the induction heater requires more electronics, people aren't going to want to pay for it, either.
If there is a clear benefit sure they will. And the costs can come down by quite a bit after the initial experimentation.
As to the clones, that should not be a reason to stop developing. E3D do it very successfully. Yes they are cloned, but I will still buy original.
Until we develop a better one.
I like the idea of induction heating. Makes sense. Put the energy where you need it, heat only that part you want hot. It is not a magical cure all, for sure, but it does need investigating.

I have managed to confirm that it is possible to get a short thermal break . This required a HF "soft" ferrite washer to localize the magnetic field and prevent induction into the thermal break area. Having said than, I can now see no good engineering reason to use induction heating as it is unlikely to be lighter or cheaper or less complex than the resistive options. Geek factor and general coolness are good but must always give way to good engineering.
I can now use the time saved on several other projects

..........................
How wide was your coil and what was the distance between thermal break and the nozzle? I'm looking into localizing the induction heating in the nozzle, far away from the heat break...
