Back EMF example 1

3V AC supply. Transformer is 1:1. Blue voltage spike showing on Voltmeter shows 30.7V which follows each discharge of the coil. Right circuit introduces a diode to mitigate spike. When switch closed, spike reduced to mV range. Opening switch results in a very large spike followed by regular smaller ones. If I understand correctly, certain inventors have been able to utilize this phenomenon usefully to do some kind of work or store, although I'm not sure how to here. Note: Lower frequencies can be used to produce higher voltages. 100Hz will produce about 48V, for example. Make sure to speed up sim time.

The engineers can harvest the horrid backEMF to their advantage, like ignition coils or a pulse inductor that is used in novelty a shock toy device, overall some amount of use.
