In this video I will show you how to create a decent low voltage inverter circuit which outputs a modified square wave. Along the way though, I will also connect this low voltage signal to a transformer in order to bring it up to mains voltage levels. This way I will be showing you how unsafe and dangerous such a DIY mains voltage inverter circuit can be. Let's get started!
