CAPACITIVE STEP-DOWN TRANSFORMER - Part 2

This video demonstrates how to create a step-down transformer using only capacitors and a bridge rectifier!
NO INDUCTIVE TRANSFORMERS NECESSARY!
In this case 120V AC is stepped down to about 30V DC and used to power a waterfuel cell.

HELLO TV, There is obviously more than one way to skin a cat. Cheap way to vary voltage without a variac Nice work!

Thanks. There are new advances made everyday.

more to come. stay tuned!

Does this convert high voltage into amps?

[lokeycmos]

im an electronics technician student. never gave thought about using caps as an AC voltage divider. good job

[ujayet]

I have a transformer that will output 110v AC, and when I connect the Rectifier to it,... im still getting AC instead of DC, please help! what im i doing wrong?

[cafeconpizza]

you can use a bleeder resistor to discharge the caps instead, no need to short them.

ac to a cell will produce heat. not much browns gas. great fro steam generation. check out my steam unit. i will post the video.

The reason this is not a transformer, is because even when you dont load the output of the rectifier, there will be a current flow through the caps will still waste power in amount dictated by ohms law. a 100 and a 330uf cap in series is equal to a 76.74uf cap, which would have an impedance of 34.9ohms, ohms law says we are wasting 3.4 amps even when not loaded.

[tortuga0303]

what you have done here is created a voltage divider with capacitors. The capacitive impedance for a 100uf cap is 26.52ohms at 60 hz, and for a 330 volt cap its 8.03ohms at 60hz.

Using the voltage divider formula and r2/(r1 + r2) we get 8.03/(26.52+8.03) = 0.232 times your input voltage of 120 gives an output voltage of 27.89, which is very damn close to the value you got, without knowing exact measurements.

Yea I look forward to trying this with a bridge-rectifier and a 60+15uF AC-cap. Good safety to test circuits before dropping high-volts. Nice work with the caps, cool deal.
