I just made an outdoor full bridge rectifier for some Christmas lights. I should go to bed too. I put some caulk on all the seams to try to get it as weather proof as possible, but really it's strictly meant for cold weather and probably should not be used in wet weather. I could pot the whole thing but then good luck trying to service that. :p

I made chicken and rice for dinner, and spiced up the chicken with BBQ sauce. I ate this almost every night before I got to Navy basic training as I was living off unemployment and trying to lose as much weight as possible.

Chicken and rice. That's all I ate for four months.

Might bring it to a car wash to see if I can get it all out, but I doubt it. It's not exactly a material that should get wet. Just tossed it outside to get the smell out of the house.

Tis the season for questionable electrical contraptions.





Not only does it rectify AC into 120hz pulsed DC, but it also converts from 2 prong to 3 prong, because a lot of things that you want to plug into like timers etc are only 2 prong and you might need to plug an extension cord that is 3 prong. So it fixes that issue too.

Maybe I missed it, but why do you need a dedicated DC line?
