I don't think it would be too far out in space to think of the capacitor
regulated generator as being related to a ferroresonant transformer or a
CVT, Constant Voltage Transformer. The only difference
is there is a mechanically rotating winding. ^_^



A CVT requres a sepereate winding to resonate with the cap. If it
were part of an active circuit, the Q would be too low to do any good.


I did write "related". ^_^



Maybe a third cousin, twice removed?
