Feb 8, 2016 at 10:47 comment added CuriousOne A switching power supply is a circuit that stores electrical energy in an inductor, which it then transfers into a capacitor. This can be repeated periodically without significant losses with at least two switches, one of which can be a diode: learningelectronics.net/images/quiz/02480x01.png. After connecting an inductor to a voltage source, the current becomes a linear function of time with $L{dI \over {dt}}=U$. After disconnecting the inductor from the power source the diode starts conducting and the energy stored in the inductor keeps charging the capacitor without loss.

Jan 28, 2016 at 9:09 comment added CuriousOne It's only wasted if you do it poorly. If you use an inductor and a good switch one can pretty easily reach about 97-98% efficiency. That's how your switching power supplies do it.
