Describe the bug or issue
I am currently simulating a two body point absorber with the direct linear genrator PTO. I am getting results, how ever it is not good data. I believe that I am having some incorrect numbers in my PTO variables that are resulting in this. I have carefully selected what I beleive are resonable values and have iterated with all these values to see what works best. I am hoping to get a more resonable power, voltage, and current outputs as I have not been able to produce anything about 0.9 Watts.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

N/A

Expected behavior

I am expecting at least 10 Watts of Power is not more.
