How is variable DC not AC?
Granted there will be some copper losses from the energy stored and released by the inducance but I'd hardly call that inefficient and the same exact thing happens in the primary of an output transformer. Obviously the ideal solution is to do away with the transformer altogether.... oh now I get it.
