This circuit will supply up to about 20ma at 12 volts. It uses capacitive reactance instead of resistance; and it doesn't generate very much heat.The circuit draws about 30ma AC.If you need more current, use a larger value capacitor; or put two in parallel; but be careful of what you are doing to the Watts.
The low voltage 'AC' is supplied by D1 and D8.Also you can replace R3 and D3 with a 78 Series regulator.
