Sir,
If I would make the circuit for upto 0-12Volt & upto 2 Amp variable power
supply, what changes are required to incorporate in this existing Circuit?
Please guide.
Thanks,

Can I replace the SL100 with any other metallic transistor like 2N2222?
Will it still produce the same power?

And what if I just want it to max output 16v?

Can I use regulator ICs (LM317) instead of zener diode in the same
circuit???

it will , but not from 1 volt, it may go to 0.7-1v no less. also sinc it
has no feedback, you output voltage will drop on even small loads (
tested a variation of thisand looking for better designs with
feedback)
