Jack,
I bought one of these a while ago.  It is basically a souped up ignition 
coil driven by a light dimmer and capacitor.  You are saying: but that 
will give pulses and not DC and you are right.  The pulses are 
predominantly of one polarity but I think it is highly misleading to 
call it "DC".
