What did you use to determine what the ideal waveforms would be (just
for curiosity. I know how to compute them)?
Note that in that model I didn't include the effect of the self-capacitance
of the secondary of the driver transformer and interconnections between
it and the third coil. This does not change the maximum output voltage
relationship, but can change appreciably the waveforms at the primary
and secondary coils, really making them more similar to the ones corresponding
to the higher coupling case.
