I wanted to share this opinion on Hackaday about a topic that is the usefulness of a something that has become ubiquitous relatively fast.

This techonolgyy has a lot of potential, what do you think?

    But different devices need different voltages. Does every outlet in my house have to have its own connection to the central rectifier? It’s a lot of re wiring.

      PWM DC to DC dropping voltage to what you need is easy/cheep.

      So instead of a big transformer + rectifier that each device has now, it would be a much smaller/cheaper step down at like 99.8% efficiency

          Well, I mean if you don’t understand power electronics I don’t see how you can make that statement.

            I understand the electronics. I don’t understand why you think this would be worth replacing all my appliances
