Each bang is a fixed amount of energy. The dampenned wave has the larger
voltage amplitude.

In CW coils we rarely work with a fixed amount of energy anyway, since the
thing is usually continuously excited (with the exception of pulsed
designs). Could you please explain why there should be a greater voltage
with a damped wave? For a fixed energy, ignoring losses, the time at which
all the energy is delivered to the secondary there should be the same
voltage in both cases.
