Ripple free d.c. does exist, but not from cheap sources like "wall wart" chargers for phones & the like.

One of Tony S's Mercury Arc Rectifiers...
Anyone ever seen the one the Manx Electric Railway has,?

We used to have mercury ignitrons on a multi-spot welder. It is a pity it was scrapped five years ago, i could have got you a photo.As an apprentice I loved watching our mercury arc rectifiers working hard. Probably why my eyes are so screwed up now.
I’m rewriting the stuff on power rectifiers
Rotary converters
Mercury arc rectifiers
Mercury arc thyratron
Selenium and germanium dry plate rectifiers.
The boring solid state carp
It’s going to take me a while
No longer there X(
