A rectifier converting AC to DC is easy enough to understand: Diodes let electricity only flow one way. But how in the world does an inverter convert DC to AC?

When I worked as a wind tech I learned it’s not a smooth sin wave like when you have ac. The best way I can put it is it’s varying ranges of voltage that go up and down in increments and if I’m not mistaken that gets ran through a capacitor/filter of some sort to clean it up into useable energy. Hope I’m not wrong but feel free to let me know I always love learning new stuff and love to teach it the best I can and can’t really do a good job at teaching if what you preach is wrong.
