When the generator is spinning its magnets past the coils with no load at normal speed there is some drag, then when if all go's well when power is drawn, before the sine wave is dragged down (which causes lens to show and slow the motor) limiting the output the generator, the motor (prime mover) will increase power to overcome it so there is more power availiable for more load.
Otherwise you just ran out of output.
The higher impedance of the coil and the higher frequency I think will seriously limit the ability of the coil to output power. But I might be wrong.
I still don't get it. A Muller is different.
