Very low power dynamo (alternator actually).

Well! Alternators _are_ current sources, but not for the reason Larkin
claims... no surprise ;-)
Are you referring to current limiting due to opposing flux cancellation?
No. An alternator is a transformer, just that the primary is
rotating. What do transformers transform? What is the mechanism?

It's a transformer with a lot of leakage inductance.

By your own admission it's still a transformer.
Since it doesn't have a primary winding, it's technically not a
transformer. Its output looks like that of a transformer with a lot of
leakage inductance.

What? JT said that a moving magnetic field doesn't induce voltage into
a wire. Then he retracted the statement. He also said that an
alternator is a current source, which is pure nonsense. How does that
give him a point?
You have not said anything intelligent about alternators or
electromagnetics, except the silly "concentration and dilution" thing.
