I don't think there was anything this fancy in Rossi's original eCats. He had an internal cartridge heater which would have had little magnetic field escaping and it was single phase. He also had an auxiliary heater wrapped around the outside that would have had more magnetic field and it was also single phase. Who knows about a magnet? Are you thinking of the single phase light bulbs having the magnet causing the filament to wiggle back and forth for flicker effect?
