This circuit use a "one coil" transformer with two taps. At power on, all points have the same +1.5V.

  1. Resistor R makes the NPN transistor conducts
  2. Current Flows from ground to point C, via coil to B to +1.5Vdc.
  3. Point C is grounded
  4. Point D will develop a voltage below ground
  5. Point A will develop a voltage higher than +1.5V.
  6. Voltages goes increasing
  7. Voltage at point D is enough negative to cut off transistor via capacitor C.
  8. Transistor opens, Point C goes floating.
  9. High + Voltage at Point A is rectified and stored at HV C.
  10. Capacitor C (blocking the transistor) starts to discharge via R and coil taps D-B.
  11. Upon C discharged, R is enough to turn on transistor again.

Cycle repeats in a frequency determined by R, C, and the transformer itself.

This kind of configuration was widely used, using a cheap small transistor audio output transformer (transistor radio), connecting the secondary in series with the primary.
