I am not sure how it does it. I would think it is more about leaking secondary voltage back to a ground creating a dead-short. You can run a coil for about 10 minutes at the widest gap and the metal case will get warm, -but not hot. Flip the switch to Heat and it will get hot enough where you don't hold the case in bare fingers very long. Not 'burn you' hot, but more uncomfortable 'hot'.
