electrically conductive sheet, the coil being substantially
helical, the surface of the sheet being substantially
perpendicular to the axis of the coil, the coil being connected
with the RF power source so as to receive RF power, the load
and the coil being disposed so that the direction of RF power
coupling is substantially parallel to the axis of the coil.
19. In combination, an RF induction coil for transmitting RF
power from an RF power source, the coil comprising a plurality
of coil turns, the coil turns comprising a sheet of electrical
conductor, the coil turns having an inner diameter and an outer
diameter, the coil turns being substantially non-coplanar, the
surface of the sheet being substantially nonparallel to the axis
of the coil; and a load for receiving the RF power, the load
being positioned with respect to the coil so that the direction of
RF power coupling is substantially parallel to the axis of the
coil.
