This has nothing whatsoever to do with induction. The fled SE
merely requires a low resistance as load. If you want to drive any
old load, then imho it's best to separate the driver and latch
stages of the SE. Try Ken Huntington's Micropower SE for
inspiration:

Or any of my SEs, inlcuding the 4-transistor SunEater. Or ask Wilf
to dig or dream up something. Or doodle up an entirely new
approach. The possibilities are endless...
Best,
Steve
