how f the +polarity of thr cap i put it to the collector & the -polarity of is put it into the base of the transistor? pls. help audioguru!!!!!

Yep, sometimes it works. I have several around here that work, and I even have a spare set of the mystical 68uF tantalum capacitors. Your success will depend on your transformer choice and the tolerance of your set of transistors. And using the proper fast recovery diode.

But the circuit still sucks.

i didn't notice those. but the way i have it now its putting out 130v and low amps and my caps havent exploded yet

The + of the capacitors should connect to the collectors of the transistors because the collectors swing to +23V.

But then the capacitors are charged to 23V and try to drive the base of the transistors down to -23V but the max allowed voltage for the emitter-base is only 7V so the transistors have avalanche breakdown which causes an extremely high current in the capacitors which causes them to explode even if their polarity is corrected.

If you are referring to the inverter schematic at http://www.aaroncake.net/circuits/inverter.asp, then don't bother. It doesn't work very well.

Instead, see the Inverter topic at the top of this Power Supply forum for circuits that actually do work.

if this is the same circuit your talking about i made fixes for it. and yeah it dose with this way i built and tested it myself. http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/952/inverter.gif

do u have a link to the schematic?
