Hello, I would like to make a 5V DC source without any Transformer knowing that the Electric Outlet voltage is 120 Vr.m.s, I found this circuit:

C3 = Polyester Capacitor
D1-4,6 = 1N4001 0.7Diode
C2= 470 Electrolytic
Dz= 6.8 V
Regulator = MC7805
C4=100n Ceramic

<SNIP>

But for lowest Loads R1<500 Ohm, the Voltage drops, so any modification or circuit I can do for my circuit?

Moderators note : removed dangerous circuit
