i would like to take an R/R apart to see whats inside.

i dont understand why there is no dropdown transformer to help the regulation. the whole system works exactly like a power supply except the mains is generated power.

AC power (stator) - "Rectification - DC power - Regulation" (R/R) - Smoothing Capacitor (battery). the only thing missing is a drop down transformer before the Rectification. if you dropped say the 90v AC to a more suitable 20V AC then the R/R would not have to work as hard.
