Bridge rectifier. Usually you have to add at least one reservoir/filter capacitor tog et any kind of stable DC voltage output, but some applications don't need that.

This would be a good question to post on sci.electronics.basics.

What's the easiest way to convert AC comming from a transformer into DC?

Just connect a diode in series with the load. It works every time.
Or are you leg pulling?

Is this a small sinking creature jumping of a cliff ???

I once worked at an outfit where if you submitted a safety suggestion, they gave you a nice coffee mug with the company logo. Or maybe it was a nice lowball glass. Anyway, I won several of them by submitting suggestions like, "Put up a sign at the 2-step stairway between office A and office B, saying, "Watch Step!"" and that sort of thing.
I also submitted the potential slogan: "Strive to drive to arrive alive."
They awarded me a glass, but I never saw it in print or anything. ;-)

Frankly, it sounds more like a very large creature following his very large dad off a cliff. ;-)

I've never won anything for suggesting the name of a project. I wanted to call my current one "Titanic Lemming Jr". They didn't like it.

I'd been reading "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Richard Rhodes, and when asked to name a project, came up with "Trinity". Sadly (or happily, perhaps), nobody got the allusion. The project did end up bombing, after using up most of the resources of the company... Thankfully, there was no "Bikini Atoll" project.

What was the project? Since it bombed, surely you can tell us.

Check out the bombedprojectslookingforsuckers listserv?
It was an SNA APPC protocol stack built into the Apple Macintosh. Perhaps "bombed" is a bit harsh... we sold lots of them, but never really paid for the development costs. It was used to connect Macintoshes up to IBM mainframes. It was quite nice technically, sporting a plug-and-play client-server architecture (1989? not bad), remote configuration, and terminal emulation for both 3270 and 5250. Sadly, it turned out that the people who bought macs were just not the same people who wanted to connect to mainframes and run CICS applications.
