Abstract
The invention allows for transformation to DC of electric fields of unknown or variable strength and polarity, using conventional, easily obtainable components. The device employs plasma arrestors, high voltage capacitors, a step-down transformer, filter capacitors, a bridge rectifier, smoothing capacitors, field-effect rectifier diodes and an intermediate storage capacitor bank to accomplish this.
