The impedance of the perfect voltage source is supposed
to be zero.
The impedance of a perfect voltage source IS zero.
How close humans can come to achieving such a device
depends largely on the budget.
Bench power supplies come quite close within their
current limits and single quadrant operation.
Spending more money will get you closer.
The fact that 0 can not be achieved does not detract
from their utility to assist understanding.
I, like you, suspect that is a complete
impossibility.
What I would like to see is a TV signal
fed through a source only to emerge unscathed on the
other side and viewable on a TV screen without distortion
just as the theory predicts.
A voltage source has two sides? Explain!
