Ideal Voltmeters do have infinite internal impedance. This mean resistance infinite! A voltmeter in series is a perfect isolation (open).

The main problem is as hurz says, I have redrawn the circuits adding an extra power supply and earth to simplify it. This makes it easier to see what is happening, the second circuit also seems to have a resistor/ capacitor problem. http://everycircuit.com/circuit/6394298192101376

Both of those voltmeters need to be in parallel with your circuit, not in series, or they'll block the current flow. Also, the capacitor in the right-hand circuit can't be in series with the LED, for the same reason. Make it parallel like the one on the left.

voltmeters in series and ammeters in parallel. also the capacitor on the right hand circuit is in series....it should be in parallel ...

sorry, voltmeters in parallel and ammeters in series. *

I used the 2 circuits to experiment and play around to get the desired results, capacitor is fixed now. But my main concern still is ripple voltage and that the voltage keeps going up. But I can't see mV so I don't know by how much.
