#2 No man, flux capacitor makes you travel in time. This is something different.

Floating liquid metal in an Induction Coil, holding it in the middel because of the magnetic field. How cool can science be

Nope.. The induction coil is dependent on the "rate of switching" i.e. Frequency.. A mains line is 230V-50Hz whereas an induction coil uses high current and frequency of switching of the order 100,000Hz . And factoring in all the other requirements, at best you would get a weak magnetic feild with a coiled cord let alone heat and fire..
BTW: why do you need to extend the cord all the way ?

I wonder what would happen if you suspended the pop group 'One Direction' in an induction coil. Would it fall through the middle eventually or not?

@13 i bought 12 mtr of cristmas lights once. i was so lazy and didnt roll it out. i just hang it on the wall, after 1 hour it catches fire.
learned my lesson there, always roll out a cord of electric wire.
a 12 volt light bolt isnt that dangerous. but 250 of them on 1 wire......

#15. Yes I agree. I've had a 50 metre extension cable go 'pop' when I was too lazy to unwind it while using it to power a 1Kw convector heater. Costly mistake!

Actually I made a mistake its an Induction Heater.. oops... my bad
