Hm... Alternating current at 60Hz changes polarity 60 times a second. AC oscillating at a billion (?) times per second changes polarity at a billion (?) times per second.
They have one thing in common: They change polarity on a specified interval.
Hey, researchers, if you are reading this, why not make a network of electrical diodes which allow current to only flow in one direction? Oh, wait, I just remembered, why don't you make a rectifier? That way you would be dealing with + and - like a battery. Then an inverter shall kick it back to 60Hz AC! Sparkling!
And why not use a battery as the rectifier/the way to smooth it out ? It's a far easier option than having to build into the system even more complexity ! Then if you want to create AC again all you have to do is to add in a transvertor - and as someone else's said, you can use the heat created to create more electricity... though I doubt we've found perpetual energy JUST yet...
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

P.S: I know the idea is far fetched, but give it a try? What's to lose?

Love the idea but if these geeks can't figure out a rectifier after designing this i would be appalled but then again would it really be that odd?
