@BradtheRad,
Thank you for the reply, can you please describe how does the switched coil achieve its purpose?
@albert22,
Thank you for the reply, Precise Explanation!, Can you please tell me how does a switching regulator look like internally or its internal functions?
Verbal summary of the boost converter:
1. Start sending current through coil.
2. Current builds at speed determined by time constant L/R. Flux field builds.
3. Stop current through coil.
4. Flux field starts to collapse at speed determined by a new time constant L/R (load resistance now being added to total R).
5. Coil generates current.
6. Current must go somewhere. Capacitor and load receive this current.
7. Coil generates however great a voltage is necessary in order to overcome existing charge on capacitor.
8. Voltage builds on capacitor and load.
9. Repeat cycle.
To aid in conceptualizing the action, below is a link to a user-interactive animated simulation. Clicking it will open the falstad.com website, load my custom boost converter schematic, and run it on your computer. (Click Allow to load the Java applet.)

Click the switch at left to start the process.
Current is depicted moving through wires at a speed in proportion to amp level.
Click the other switch to apply clock driven pulses to the converter.
Values can be changed at will. Right-click a component to bring up an edit window.
(The buck converter will be explained in a later post.)
