How's a dc pulse turn into ac at the other end of a transformer? I thought
that the field was established from the primary pulse, which is a shot of
dc, which field collapses as that primary pulse ends, and the collapse
across the secondary windings creates a (high) voltage pulse in those
windings. I thought the collapse made a pulse that rises to a high value
and then returns to zero. Didn't know it bounced all the way back through a
high negative value.
PS: This statement is based on points-and-coil or a magneto -- not an
electronic-al system that might use AC for higher efficiency. Did I miss
something one day at school?

Secondary voltage is AC current, which means it cycles between negative
and positive.
