I should rephrase that; what does this do??
converts alternating current into direct current in possibly the most cursed way possible
I do not understand how electricity works other than the basics (path of least resistance, diodes are one way, transistors) but this does look strange
it’s a full wave rectifier (the four diode diamond thing) but with two of the diodes replaced with MOSFETs (the transistors that handle computing in CPUs)
oh dear
that was about my reaction when I saw that it worked
