It appears to be a simple square-wave inverter with each half of the split-input winding alternately connected the the +12V by the darlington transistors.
The darlington transistors have a relatively high on-voltage so the efficiency would be poor.
I already explained all this in a PM about 6 hours ago.
Also 3 pins of the IC are not connected so it won't work.
It is a stupid simple circuit without any voltage regulation. Most electronic products will not work from its square-wave.
Why do websites post garbage circuits like this with so many errors?
