2n3055 Schaltung. It is a transistor type of enduring popularity. It was introduced in the early 1960s by rca using a hometaxial power transistor process transitioned to an epitaxial base in the mid 1970s.
Although you could use this design to deliver 20 amps with almost no modifications and with a proper transformer and a huge heat sink with a fan i did not needed such much power. The 2n3055 is a power bipolar transistor designed to handle high power loads in the range of 100 v and 15 amps.
