Because of this I’ve used 1N4001 diodes to make the bridge rectifier. Bridge rectifiers are also known as full-wave rectifiers because they take the alternating current and use both parts of the ...

If you’re in the mood for a very well done review of diode bridges as well as half- and full-wave rectifiers ... power supply — just a diode bridge with some capacitors on the output ...

By putting in four layers, instead of the three used in transistors, the Shockley Diode could do more than a transistor. For one, it acted like a rectifier, able to turn alternating current into ...
