Static-Inverter 1.0: A Complete Design Process to Convert D.C. to A.C. Electricity Using the Astable-Multivibrator
()
About this ebook
STATIC-INVERTER 1.0 is the most practical book that reveals the easiest way to convert Direct Current (D.C.) to Alternating Current (A.C.) electricity without using complicated electronic circuitry, integrated circuits, microprocessors, and computer programs. It is the only book that explains how the final operational project was accomplished through a series of design processes and "trial and error" experimentations in full, detailed illustrations. The final operational projects are fully tested and accomplished to energize your most sensitive electronic devices like cell phones, radios, lamps, etc., that require A.C. electricity while it is guaranteed not to damage any of those sensitive electronic devices.
STATIC-INVERTER 1.0 emphasizes more on the practical applications of passive and active discrete electronic parts that are available around the world at an affordable cost. It can be very useful for countries frequently experiencing power outages due to natural calamities or disasters.
About the Author
Mac Yancy C. Del Rosario is a Filipino electronics engineer, aeronautical engineer, and an FAA Aircraft Maintenance Technician. He briefly worked in the semiconductor industry as an apprentice. He then transferred to the aviation industry as an Aircraft Maintenance Technician (AMT). Some of the aircraft that he worked on include the piston-engine Cessna model 150 and 152 series.
Mac became a college instructor, where he taught several subjects related to aviation electronics, navigation, and communication systems. Immigrating to the United States, he continued to work at a regional airline company as an AMT, where he worked for the repair and maintenance of medium-weight jet-powered aircraft such as the Embraer-145 passenger aircraft.

Foreword
This book is a product of years of research and development that is based on proven results taken from actual laboratory experiments, all of which are conducted through careful analyzation of published references and a long process of trial and error
experimentation. It begins with a basic theoretical circuit that progresses into a simplified schematic diagram, then an experimental circuit is examined through a process of trial and error.
The experimental circuit is fully analyzed to see if the desired objective has been met. This experimental circuit would then progress into an operational
working project.
While most of the work done was based on references, some theoretical circuits have been slightly modified to meet safety requirements and standards. For further appreciation, an additional topic, Fluorescent Lamp Circuit Design,
was added. Many efforts were made to achieve the desired objective and to explain in full detail from the basic theoretical circuit to the actual operational
working project. It is designed for ease of construction, troubleshooting, and requires no integrated circuits, computer circuits, or software. All electronic parts required are affordable and are locally available.
This book is intended for electronics engineering students, hobbyists, enthusiasts, and even for professionals. Although every explanation for the design process is easy to understand, a basic knowledge in electronics might be an advantage to understanding the design process. This book reveals the simplest way of converting direct current electricity to alternating current electricity without using complicated electronic circuitry. For better understanding, it is highly encouraged to build this project in a do it yourself
method. For safety purposes, some illustrations have warning signs that are labelled as High Voltage
in red font color. Thus, safety precautions must be observed to avoid electric shock and prevent damage to sensitive electronic devices. Thank you for your appreciation. Stay safe, have fun, and good luck!
safety disclaimer
This book discusses and illustrates the procedures for converting direct current electricity to a High-Voltage alternating current electricity. By properly following instructions, it can be useful to energize any electrical loads like lamps or cellphones. But when instructions are not followed properly, it can lead to potential hazards like a serious electrical shock or damage to sensitive electronic devices. Please practice safety precautions; always use proper tools and equipment. Use personal protective safety equipment when constructing High-Voltage circuits or performing experiments.
Never leave an energized High-Voltage circuit unattended. Always be aware that undesirable waveforms from High-Voltage alternating current can damage sensitive electronic devices like cellphones or radios. It is the reader’s responsibility to follow instructions to prevent bodily injury and fire hazards. Remember that safety is a priority.
Dedicated to
Almighty God, Dad, Mom, James, Queeny, and the Filipino masses.
I. INTRODUCTION
The main objective of the Static-Inverter 1.0
is to convert direct current (D.C.) electricity to High-Voltage alternating current (A.C.) electricity without damaging sensitive electronic devices or conventional electrical loads. Transistors are the only active electronic parts to be used together with a few passive electronic parts. For us to be more familiar with the use of transistors, integrated circuits or computer programs shall not be used. Thus, this project would be simple in design and easy to understand while it facilitates the ease of troubleshooting. For clarity and visualization, illustrations are divided into hand drawings and pictures. Hand drawings are represented as figures and pictures are represented as photo sets. Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the Static-Inverter 1.0.
The 12-Volt lead-acid battery serves as a source of 12 Volts D.C. electricity while the Astable-Multivibrator
is a transistorized electronic circuit that converts the 12 Volts D.C. electricity into a stable Low-Voltage 12-Volt A.C. square
waveform A.C. electricity. The Step-Up Power Transformer
converts the Low-Voltage 12-Volt A.C. square
waveform A.C. electricity into High-Voltage 120-Volt A.C. electricity. The Incandescent lamp acts as an electrical load that converts A.C. electricity to light. This lamp requires an A.C. voltage of 120 Volts and a power consumption of 10 Watts. Any electrical load with a power requirement of 10 Watts or less can also be used.
A complete design process shall be conducted for the possibility of the Astable-Multivibrator
to produce an ideal A.C. sinusoidal
waveform, or at least to replicate an almost sinusoidal
waveform that is safe to energize sensitive electronic devices like
