OK MILE HIGH I TOTALLY HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR YOUR ABILITY TO SORT THE BULLSHIT FROM THE REAL SHIT.
NOW A CHALLENGE FOR YOU ..IF I WIND A TRANSFORMER AS PER BELOW ILLUSTRATED WILL IT BE MORE EFFICIENT..

If we go back to the mechanical example.
whether just a simple mechanical oscillator, operating at resonance,
or the large bridge that tears itself apart.....

Suppose for an instant, we placed some sort of "dampeners" against these oscillations, to siphon off some of the built-up energies.
rather than creating situations that simply disrupt and dissipate it.

Would this be a better scenario, than just letting the build-up energies go to waste?

If your answer be a yes or a no,
think about how this would apply to the electronic analogy.

I don't see a transformer and I don't know what you mean when you say efficiency.

Mags here is a link to a good guide for transformers. The clipping below explains what your post above says.

Thanks farmhand.   Its been buggin me for some time. We see all these diagrams/drawings of toroid and other closed core transformers that do not depict this. And the idea that the core would leak due to an over abundance of field when the transformer is working hard, calling it over saturation.

Ok. Question answered in the best way.

Thanks again
