A rectifier cell includes a first cell branch and a second cell branch that extend in parallel between two opposite nodes receiving an a.c. signal. The first cell branch includes a first pair of transistors arranged with their current paths cascaded, with a first intermediate point in-between. The second cell branch includes a second pair of transistors arranged with their current paths cascaded, with a second intermediate point in-between. Each of the pairs of transistors includes a first transistor with a control terminal coupled to one of the two opposite nodes and a second transistor with a control terminal coupled to the other of the two opposite nodes. The bulks of the transistors receive voltages in order to vary the transistor threshold voltage by bringing the threshold voltage to a first value during forward conduction and to a second value during reverse conduction.

An electricity generator includes a core having a pair of opposing end caps interconnected by a mid-section cooperating to define an interior chamber. In use, the core is held at a vacuum and filled with at least one inert gas. A frequency generator is attached for introducing and inputting electromagnetic waves into the interior chamber. A waveguide tube is provided to connect the frequency generator to the core, allowing for the passage of electromagnetic waves from the frequency generator into the interior chamber. In addition, a plurality of electrodes is provided which extend into the interior chamber to heat the inert gas and conduct the flow of electricity away from a lining on the interior chamber in order to produce steam. The electricity generator further includes at least one external steam generator system for converting the produced steam into energy.
