I thought it was a possibility that the cap could discharge through the diode bridge because the ac power was activating the diodes, but it turns out another one of the diodes stops the cap discharge separately.
If you got diode property wrong then clearly you would want to learn ALOT before even trying to spread your (clueless) wisdom in "I know it all" style.
[edit] Oh, and I am not even talking about ridiculous circuit with two series diode short in it...
My model of electricity is incomplete and approximate, if yours is too I wont attack in the forumm of saying that it doesnt work most the time anyway, everyone has their little guesses of whats going on, sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesnt, the ending details of what actually happens I think 99% of ppl get it wrong (so u have to do experiments to proove ideas.), so I dont get anything perfect myself either, and I think that's all you need to get your machines up and running, being perfect would be good but its not the end of the world if you get things wrong, as long as u test all your ideas just to make sure of the missing details.
The problem people have with you isn’t your lack of knowledge (because indeed we all started at zero), but your attitude.
Despite the fact that your level of knowledge is… limited (and that rather than filling the gaps with “I don’t know”, you’ve filled them with your own hypotheses), you act as though you were an expert, making incorrect proclamations and telling others (who
do know what they’re talking about) that they’re wrong, when in fact it’s
you who is wrong.
Before you start schooling others, you need to:
a) expunge your brain of all the answers that you’ve simply made up (as they are not a viable foundation for subsequent learning), and
b) learn a LOT more (as in formal learning, not just experimenting and conjecture)
