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

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?
Larkin still hasn't run the simulation. And what is this "_one_ of
Marcel's alternator models"?
