Yes, I am. That's how spark plugs work. The easiest current path is through the air and so the inductor produces a voltage high enough to force current to flow through the air.
It's like this:
Inductors store energy but they only do so when current is being forced through them. If you stop forcing current through it, it will release it's energy. (Think of stuffing a kid's mouth full of grass. He's only going to keep that grass in his mouth as long as you keep stuffing more grass in). Inductors also try to keep current flowing continuously (and they use their stored energy to do this). That means if you suddenly break the current flow, the inductor will release it's stored energy and that energy will go towards trying and keep that current at that level as best as it can. If the easiest path is low resistnace path, that energy will be released in the form of a low voltage across the inductor and lots of current that takes time to collapse to zero as the stored energy runs out. If the path is a high resistance however, that energy will come in the form of very high voltage and low current that collapses to zero very quickly. Of course, the inductor only has a finite amount of energy and something has got to give eventually, so the inductor isn't going to magically keep 100A flowing forever after you've disconnected it. The current collapses eventually.
