Half-Wave

Your way will not work.

vynuhl.addict is correct with his link to the ESP site.

Half wave rectifiers require larger capacitors and thus larger rectifiers for the same output current and voltage. An improvement on the ESP design would be to add a resistor and another capacitor after the rectifier.

You can see this CRC type filer in many of the Nelson Pass designs.

Download the Duncan power supply calculator and you can model all this for yourself.
