Hi, this is a kind of weird question. I was wondering if I can take only the positive pulses out of the AC mains (after a step down transformer) but using only transformers, capacitors, coils and resistors. No semiconductor or tube.
A way is the synchronous rectifier using either relays or motors, but I was wondering if this can be done my some king of saturated reactor or anything else comes to your mind so that mechanical movement can be avoided?
Are there historically such attempts?
