Editor's Note: Here's another take on the transformerless AC line power supply, which finds use in some well-insulated, low-power devices. Our technical reviewer pointed out that C ac should be an ...

The circuit functions as a simple AC bridge circuit with matching resistor values and a stable fixed frequency source. C bulk can be fixed at the 0% RH capacitance of the particular RH sensor that ...

A superconducting diode bridge composed of four superconducting diodes efficiently converts AC to DC at cryogenic temperatures, achieving rectification efficiencies up to 42% ± 5%.

In 2023, about 4.4% (176 terawatt-hours) of total energy consumption in the United States was by data centers that are ...

This one’s an AC bridge, one of a series of models manufactured from the 1930s through to the late 1940s, and he treats us to a teardown and restoration of it.

Gyrator Circuit Makes DC Supply Invisible For AC Testing Feb. 12, 2010 This Idea For Design shows how a gyrator circuit can be used to perform certain ac tests on units under test that require a ...

If only there was some way to take an AC source and produce DC. Well, of course there is - the bridge rectifier. This is actually a pretty simple circuit but it depends on one key element - the diode.
