Which is absolutely brilliant if you are trying to save a diode drop as you can replace two of the diodes in a bridge rectifier with LM334s and you have a current-regulated output bridge rectifier.

Because of this I’ve used 1N4001 diodes to make the bridge rectifier. Bridge rectifiers are also known as full-wave rectifiers because they take the alternating current and use both parts of the ...
