To squeeze even more energy from a alkaline battery cell, this circuit adds two
transistors to a circuit similar to the above design to boost the efficiency. A small
1.5 volt alkaline N cell should flash the LED for a full year. It too uses a "charge
pump" technique to provide a LED the needed voltage.
