In Electronics, "transformer" is two or more inductors which have high
coupling. Or call it a closed magnetic circuit which is connected to at
least two electric circuits. To create a DC output, you'd need some sort
of nonlinear devices (diode, or gas rectifier tube, or synchronous
mechanical switch.)
