Hi,
I'm pretty much a noob here. And, I want to know how can I convert AC power to DC power...

I'm sure someone can help me... I think it's with diodes or something like that, but, I have no ideas.

You can convert AC to DC by using a rectifier and a power filter. The factors that depend on these two components are the power output and the voltage at which you want to rectify. Also remember that your rectified DC output will be 1.414 times the RMS value of the AC voltage
