Default choke input voltage doubler?

If the inductor in your design is replaced by a piece of wire, the diodes
will directly charge the two capacitors and the connected equipment will
draw charge from the capacitor pair.

If you then replace the wire with an inductor, ALL that will change is that
the capacitors will charge less effectively and you'll have a less
efficient, bulkier and more expensive power supply.

As simple as that? ;-}
