Your original question was about "half-wave" which is completely different from "full-wave"! With half wave you get one pulse per cycle and with full wave you get two pulses per cycle. If you look at it with an oscilloscope, half wave looks like a mountain peak followed by a valley (zero volts). With full wave you have two mountain tops with no valley in between. Full wave produces twice the energy of the half wave. And yes that would measure about 110 volts on a DC meter. Adding a capacitor will raise that to about 160 volts DC. Not mystifying at all when all the facts are know. Juergen P.
