In first year of engineering, we were taught about rectification of ac signal by diode and how to make a simple power supply using step-down transformer for decreasing the voltage level of mains, diode for rectification, capcitors for filtering and voltage regulators at the end to regulate the voltage to some proper level.
Until I write a proper post for the Power Supply project, here is a gallery of the project; enjoy..!
comment bhi kar hi dain.. :P
