A fairly simple one can resemble a Wheatstone Bridge, except with diodes replacing the resistors, and a short wire replacing the current source, while only one diode is really needed, as long as you don't mind it working only half the time.

A capacitor in series with one also helps improve efficiency by leveling out the voltage, as long as RC is larger than the frequency of the circuit. For 10 points, name this electrical device in both half-wave and full-wave varieties that converts alternating current to direct.
