Tiny low current 9 VDC Regulated Power supply designed around bipolar transistor and zener diode. The circuit is known as series voltage regulator or emitter follower voltage regulator. The unregulated supply fed to input and the circuit regulate the voltage and provide constant 9V DC, 250mA. The zener diode provides the reference voltage to the base of the transistor. This is very suitable power supply for small projects as it can provide any supply output by changing just the zener diode.
Other output voltage can be obtained by changing the zener diode
Output Voltage Formula Vout=Vz-VBe
Vz=Zenner diode Voltage, VBe=0.7V

The author forgot to mention that a heatsink must be used on the transistor if the output current is high and the output voltage is low.
Thanks for mention this. I updated the project page.
