EE ufies a question on AC conversion	by robertltux	2013-02-21 05:55:44
Yes, but it requires time dilation.	by kelli217	2013-02-21 06:25:35
If you get in a spacecraft going at just the right fraction of the speed of light, then AC on Earth at 50Hz can appear to actually be at 60Hz. Otherwise... no, I don't know of any way to convert AC frequencies without intermediate rectification and re-inversion. Or using mechanical means and thus losing a lot of power to inertia and friction.
