1. A power converter comprising:

  • (a) a transformer device responsive to an AC voltage, said transformer device configured to function as both a transformer and as an energy storage device, said transformer device when functioning as said transformer acting to produce a plurality of substantially out-of-phase transformed voltages from said AC voltage and said transformer device when functioning as said energy storage device acting to store energy responsive to said AC voltage; and

    ,(b) switching means for rectifying said plurality of substantially out-of-phase transformed voltages and producing at lest one rectified voltage therefrom and for controlling said transformer device so that said transformer device discharges said energy stored therein through said switching means.
