Sorry to have accidently rated the "rectifier" answer as negative -- it was correct.
An inverter turns DC into AC.
A transformer converts one voltage AC into another voltage AC.
A rectifier, or a diode, converts the AC into a pulsating, single polarity voltage. To finish the conversion, this pulsating voltage must be filtered, most commonly with a capacitor or capacitor and inductor. This filtered, non-pulsating, smooth voltage is what is typically referred to as DC.

All strategies of producing electricity use revolving magnetic fields, the intensity of the present varies with the attitude the rotor strikes in the process the sphere and the process flow adjustments for the time of each and each revolution, the present is subsequently various in power and course, IE it alternates. DC can in straight forward terms be created chemically or via rectifying AC.

Carl M is correct. It is a rectifier or diode that converts AC to DC.
