Driven inverter circuit

Claim 1

A POWER INVERTER CIRCUIT COMPRISING A SOURCE OF INPUT POTENTIAL, A PAIR OF TRANSISTORS EACH HAVING INPUT, OUTPUT AND COMMON ELECTRODES, SIGNAL MEANS COUPLED TO SAID INPUT AND COMMON ELECTRODES TO RENDER EACH TRANSISTOR ALTERNATELY CONDUCTIVE, A LOAD COUPLED TO SAID SOURCE OF INPUT POTENTIAL THROUGH THE OUTPUT ELECTRODES OF EACH ALTENATELY CONDUCTING TRANSISTOR, A CHARGE STORAGE DIODE INDIVIDUALLY CONNECTED ACROSS THE INPUT AND COMMON ELECTRODE OF EACH TRANSISTOR AND POLED TO RENDER SAID TRANSISTOR NONCONDUCTIVE WHEN SAID DIODE IS PASSING CURRENT IN ITS FORWARD DIRECTION, AND SWITCHING MEANS COUPLED TO SAID SIGNAL MEANS FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY DIVERTING ENERGY FROM SAID TRANSISTOR INPUT ELECTRODES AND CONNECTING SAID DIODES IN PARALLEL TO EFFECT AN ENERGY TRANSFER FROM A PREVIOUSLY CONDUCTING DIODE TO THE INPUT-COMMON ELECTRODES OF A PREVIOUSLY CONDUCTING TRANSISTOR.
