System allows replenishment of silicon melt in crystal puller. Cold crucible consists of water-cooled, silver plated boat in 500kHz field. Induced secondary currents cause preheated chunks of silicon to melt. Magnetic repulsion between current in silicon and in boat prevents silicon from touching boat. Used for crystal growth of other materials sufficiently conductive and difficult to keep free of contamination by container walls at temmperature of operation.
