Rotating rectifier

A rotating rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). It works by mechanically rotating a set of brushes and a commutator, which changes the direction of the electrical current flow to produce unidirectional output. This simple yet effective technology has been used in various applications for powering devices that require constant DC voltage, such as battery chargers, solar panels, and electric vehicles.
