ok, so i have built a working voltage doubler. the diagram is with a 555 IC, but my actual circuit uses a 556 IC. i have been trying to get a greater current for the output. i am aware that the current is reduced in half by the voltage doubler. as of now i am using a 12v 12Ah SLA battery.
the picture is of a previous voltage doubler with a 556. it worked rather well with the LM317 and was able to drive my 80mm pc case fan @17V @360mA, but the 556 IC would get extremely hot. all help and suggestions are welcome.
