RE: What's all this "modern" power supply?

It is silly isn't it. 60hz choke input power supplies being referred to as "modern".

What is a truly modern power supply? How about an I-Phone charger. That little inch square cube that plugs right into the wall and gives us what 10-15 watts of power with virtually no heat generation?

Hmmm I wonder? Does any mass produced consumer electronic product these days still use a 60hz power transformer? Can you even still buy 60hz transformer based wall worts? Everything has gone switch mode.

How about the inverter technology with the backyard solar power station craze these days. Anybody think getting the last drop of efficiency out of that inverter is not "modern engineering".
