Upto my knowledge, power is always lost in the way of converting and inverting.....hope im right. So lately, im thinking about the way we usually invert/convert powers around from power grid to the motherboard and I really wonder why do we depend on UPS. Im not an advanced electronics engineer like most of you, but i wanna build a DC converter, even if i have to do it step by step. Id be so glad if anyone cared to help please.
