Yes, it is possible and has been done. Much the same as tube coils.
Do try it out, they are fun too! Don't be supprised if you get no long
arcs like with traditional pulsed coil. Peak power is much lower with
fets and results in much more quiet and smaller sparking.

It is used for many purposes including package material. However,
different grades have different electrical (and other) properities.
PS Please, try to limit line lenght somehow. Reading lines with huge
lenght is not fun. Most of us still use about 80 chars wide screens!
