What is exactly happening when AC power is being converted to DC energy?
In: Technology
You use some diodes and a capacitor to “rectify” the signal. They are arranged in such a way that when the voltage is positive, current flows, but current is blocked by the diode when your AC voltage is negative. The capacitor then starts discharging some stored energy it got when the signal was positive, and that keeps your DC voltage constant.
