I took one of Marcel's alternator models, ran it through a 2:1

frequency curve, the resulting DC current increases, about doubling
the no-transformer current towards the high end. Impedance matching
works!

Is it for sure the impedance matching capability of the transformer that
produces the benefit, or the trade-off of current vs voltage? I ask this
because I don't see any way to be sure of any of the impedances, so how can
we know if the transformer is matching it?
