It actually works!
Of course it works, several people built it before and published photos and videos. But now I did it on my own: a rather small induction heater.
In the first photo I ran it with only 12V and at about 2.5A, but this was enough to bring a small nail to red heat.
Some waveforms:
At the gate of one of the MOSFETs:
At the drain of one of the MOSFETs:
And finally across the capacitor:
