High Voltage Diode

How does a zener diode work?
Lets say I want to take 5v down to 3.3 (or 3v). Do they take away the specified voltage or allow only the specified voltage to pass through.
So... would I need a 2v zener diode to take away those 2v of power with an end result of 3v.... or do I need a 3.3v (1w) zener diode to only allow up to 3.3v of power through the 5v circuit ?
Also, can they be used in-line without any type of resister as long as the wattage level is high enough? And... can I use one on an alternating current -- like for an alternating speed comp fan?
Zener diodes are like any other diode. They conduct current in only one direction. But they differ in that when reversed biased, they do not conduct until a certain point where they "break down" and start to conduct. The point at which they break down is their zener voltage. They will hold this breakdown voltage until they are destroyed by overcurrent conditions.
They will always require a series resistance or be immediately destroyed through overcurrent.
They are doped in certain ways to give you the different voltages. How much current they can pass gives you their wattage.
They also need to be filtered with a capacitor in parallel with the zener, as they can be a bit noisy.

Voltage Doubler $54.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A voltage doubler is an electric circuit with an AC input and a DC output of roughly twice the peak input voltage. They are a variety of voltage multiplier circuit and are often, but not always, a single stage of a general form of such circuits. The term is usually applied to circuits consisting of rectifying diodes and capacitors only, other means of doubling voltages are not included.The Villard circuit consists simply of a capacitor and a diode. While it has the great benefit of simplicity, its output has very poor ripple characteristics. Essentially, the circuit is a diode clamp circuit.

Transmission Lines and Schottky Diode $108.33 A nonlinear relation between current and voltage for schottky resonant tunneling diode is used. A general form of equation similar to VanDer Pol equation is obtained. A Resonant tunneling diode(RTD) has a negative differential resistance that means when the voltage increases the current decreases. This property is very useful for oscillators manufacture. Nonlinear transmission lines is considered to show that it canbe used in oscillators and to show that it can reshape the sinusoidal signals to othershapes by using OrCad and mathematica programming.
