TDL- Why you need bridge rectifiers!
A little video prompted by Ultrasteve on Discord! I actually have never set down to build a full wave bridge rectifier and its something pretty simple to make!
But the real cool thing is if you build them into your DC input circuits they give you polarity protection, and that IS REALLY useful!
