I am interested in building a 12 v dc to 120 v ac power inverter.
A friend of mine bought one of these for around 75 bucks and used
it to run a stereo system off of a car battery at a beach party.
It seems like such a thing would be convenient for rigging
up a camper and the like...

I have only a vague idea of how such a thing might be done:
some chokes to step the volatge up, big switching transistors.
Anyone care to provide the definitive reference or a simple
explanation?

thanks for listening, jeff
