When the AC signal coming from the source  passes through the diodes it will either go through the bottom or top depending on whether it's polarity is positive or negative. Giving you a DC signal across the resistor.

Why thank you good sir. It has been a pleasure and an honor receiving an education in electronics.

A transformer with that "configuration" isn't fully useable. It seperates the circuit from earth, but besides that transformers usually protect the circuit by outputting a lower voltage.

I see what you are saying. I was more just satisfied that I configured the rectifier correctly.

This circuit is bad for the environment

No it's not. But I suppose it could be.
