Mr. Hideyuki Kikuchi, Japanese physicist who in 1940, with Mitsutoshi Hirose, received a U.S. patent for invention of apparatus employing high voltage high frequency electric current. The photo caption (c. 1935) states that the invention turned "iron-sand into 99.7% pure iron in less than five minutes, by use of high-tension, high-cycle, electro-magnetic-wave smelting process."
