I think we are describing pretty much the same thing. Only I don't believe there is anything but refractory castable insulation in the large diameter support cylinders at the end of the convection tube. I think the heater coils are axial and the 3-phase drive produces a linear conveyer, which when it gets to the physical end of the tube will fold in on itself coaxially. Moving field is the reason for the 3-phase drive.
