What claim invention is—
1. The method obtaining direct from al
ternating currents, which consists divid
ing the path alternating current into 50
branches, and developing one said
branches, either permanently periodically,
an electrical force active resistance coun

consists developing producing one

as set forth.
An alternating and direct current have
been combined that the waves one di-

come the direct current; but this plan
only one set alternations are utilized,
whereas system the entire current is
rendered available.
