2. Voltage doubler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_doubler

   Bridge (Delon) voltage doubler. The Delon circuit uses a bridge topology for voltage doubling; [p 6] consequently it is also called a full-wave voltage doubler. [2] This form of circuit was, at one time, commonly found in cathode-ray-tube television sets where it was used to provide an extra high tension (EHT) supply.

3. Diode bridge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode_bridge

   A hand-made diode bridge. The silver band on the diodes indicates the cathode side of the diode.. A diode bridge is a bridge rectifier circuit of four diodes that is used in the process of converting alternating current (AC) from the input terminals to direct current (DC, i.e. fixed polarity) on the output terminals.

4. Mercury-arc valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-arc_valve

   Mercury rectifier on display in the Beromünster AM transmitter in Switzerland, before being decommissioned.Three-phase full-wave rectifier with six anodes. A mercury-arc valve or mercury-vapor rectifier or (UK) mercury-arc rectifier [1] [2] is a type of electrical rectifier used for converting high-voltage or high-current alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC).

5. Rectifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier

   The 0Z4 was a gas-filled rectifier tube commonly used in vacuum tube car radios in the 1940s and 1950s. It was a conventional full-wave rectifier tube with two anodes and one cathode, but was unique in that it had no filament (thus the "0" in its type number).

6. Diode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode

   The obsolete thermionic diode is a vacuum tube with two electrodes, a heated cathode and a plate, in which electrons can flow in only one direction, from the cathode to the plate. Among many uses, diodes are found in rectifiers to convert alternating current (AC) power to direct current (DC), demodulation in radio receivers , and can even be ...

   Bridge rectifier (four diodes in a package) often changed to "D" for diode BT, BAT: Battery or battery holder: often shortened to "B" C: Capacitor: CB: Circuit breaker: CN: Capacitor network: may be simplified to "C" for capacitor D, CR: Diode (all types, including LED), thyristor "D" is preferred for various types of diodes DL: Delay line: DN ...

8. Bridge circuit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_circuit

   In power supply design, a bridge circuit or bridge rectifier is an arrangement of diodes or similar devices used to rectify an electric current, i.e. to convert it from an unknown or alternating polarity to a direct current of known polarity. In some motor controllers, an H-bridge is used to control the direction the motor turns.

9. Voltage-regulator tube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage-regulator_tube

   Schematic representation of a cold cathode voltage-regulator tube 5651 Regulator tube in operation. A voltage-regulator tube (VR tube) is an electronic component used as a shunt regulator to hold a voltage constant at a predetermined level. Physically, these devices resemble vacuum tubes, but there are two main differences:
