    This circuit can convert a 6V power source into a regulated 12V output capable of supplying up to 800mA of current. The circuit uses transistors, diodes, resistors, capacitors and an inductor to efficiently step up the voltage in a simple design. Minor component changes allow modifying the circuit to accommodate different input/output voltage combinations.

    6V to 12V

    Converter

    source: http://www.aaroncake.net/

    This inverter circuit can provide up to 800mA of 12V power from a 6V supply. For example, you
    could run 12V car accessories in a 6V (British?) car. The circuit is simple, about 75% efficient and
    quite useful. By changing just a few components, you can also modify it for different voltages.

    Notes
    1. L1 is a custom inductor wound with about 80 turns of 0.5mm magnet wire around a toroidal
    core with a 40mm outside diameter.
    2. Different values of D3 can be used to get different output voltages from about 0.6V to around
    30V. Note that at higher voltages the circuit might not perform as well and may not produce as
    much current. You may also need to use a larger C3 for higher voltages and/or higher currents.
    3. You can use a larger value for C3 to provide better filtering.
    4. The circuit will require about 2A from the 6V supply to provide the full 800mA at 12V.
