Question hi halo my name is jesus an my question is. how can you built an electric converter ac to dc. 120 AC electricity into 18 volt DC. for a dewalt drill to act like a batteries pretty much like if you're trying to use a power from and outlet instead of of a batteries.
You can buy this type for $4.00 and up; a self contained power pod unit. It provides a 500ma output which is okey for small battery operated environments.
You didn't say what kind of current or power you need - which makes total difference about the design of the unit. Like the unit mentioned in the URL above, it is just a transformer with a diode at the secondary output. The dc is unfiltered but is okey for battery charging systems.
If you need filtered dc and some better regulation you will need a full-wave rectifier and ripple reduction filter to smooth out the dc, etc. Let me know more what you really need, electrically speaking - or the load that you are going to drive. Then with the power and current regulation qualities we can proceed with something more specific.
