| If I read correctly, it sounds as if there are + and - signs on the capacitor, which would imply that there is something that would block an incorrect polarity on the terminal. Maybe the diode and the 2 transistors on the board do this, I do not (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Right, what I was trying to say is that a bridge can't 'invert' a DC input of one polarity to make an output of another polarity - it can't "correct" anything, a diode can only conduct or not conduct. All a bridge can do is route the given DC (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

A bridge should work just fine with a DC input of any polarity (of course for any DC input, only half of the bridge is actually being used). (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) I don't have one, but can make some guesses. A bridge only works with an AC input - it can't correct the polarity of a DC input. So the Lego cap either has an AC input possibly through a bridge or a DC input which is the correct polarity by (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)
