Presented is a simple, but highly energy efficient industrial heating device and method for rapid heating and high temperature gradient production whereby fermions and bosons are introduced into an adjoining fluid which may be boundary layered and consequently produce an amplifiable activated condition even at room pressure and high temperature. This heating device uses a comparatively long current carrying member which may have some curvature with penetration of the current carrying members into spaces that could have any cross-sectional geometry in a high temperature resistant stable material.
