I have been trying to build a 12VDC to 120VAC voltage inverter for some time now, and came up with this design a while back. I have tried building it several times, but All that happens is the wirewound resistors start putting out extreme amounts of heat, and no voltage output. The attached image contains the schematic.
Also, I have tried reversing the polarity of diodes D1 and D2, removing them completely, and using several different types. Still nothing.
Is it possible that some parts are defective, or is there a flaw with the design? I'm open to suggestions and modifications to my design.
Note: C1T and C2T are tantalum electrolytics, R1 and R2 are ceramic-cased wirewound resistors.
