Bridge rectifier. Usually you have to add at least one reservoir/filter
capacitor tog et any kind of stable DC voltage output, but some
applications don't need that.

This would be a good question to post on sci.electronics.basics.

===============================

Just connect a diode in series with the load. It works every time.

Or are you leg pulling?

Do I win anything?

I've never won anything for suggesting the name of a project. I wanted to
call my current one "Titanic Lemming Jr". They didn't like it.

Is this a small sinking creature jumping of a cliff ???

I once worked at an outfit where if you submitted a safety suggestion,
they gave you a nice coffee mug with the company logo. Or maybe it was
a nice lowball glass. Anyway, I won several of them by submitting
suggestions like, "Put up a sign at the 2-step stairway between office
A and office B, saying, "Watch Step!"" and that sort of thing.

I also submitted the potential slogan: "Strive to drive to arrive alive."

They awarded me a glass, but I never saw it in print or anything. ;-)

Cheers!

Frankly, it sounds more like a very large creature following his very
large dad off a cliff. ;-)

I'd been reading "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Richard Rhodes, and
when asked to name a project, came up with "Trinity". Sadly (or happily,
perhaps), nobody got the allusion. The project did end up bombing, after
using up most of the resources of the company... Thankfully, there was no
"Bikini Atoll" project.

What was the project? Since it bombed, surely you can tell us.

Well, where else do you think they got the expression, "No bikini at all."?

It was an SNA APPC protocol stack built into the Apple Macintosh. Perhaps
"bombed" is a bit harsh... we sold lots of them, but never really paid for
the development costs. It was used to connect Macintoshes up to IBM
mainframes. It was quite nice technically, sporting a plug-and-play
client-server architecture (1989? not bad), remote configuration, and
terminal emulation for both 3270 and 5250. Sadly, it turned out that the
people who bought macs were just not the same people who wanted to connect
to mainframes and run CICS applications.

Our minds are finite, and yet even in those circumstances of finitude, we
are surrounded by possibilities that are infinite, and the purpose of human
life is to grasp as much as we can out of that infinitude.
