This circuit alternately flashes 2 white LEDs, on a 3v supply and produces a really bright flash. The circuit produces a voltage above 5v if the LED isn't in circuit however the LED limits the voltage to its characteristic voltage of three.2v to 3.6v.   The circuit takes concerning 2mA and is actually a voltage-doubler (voltage incrementer) arrangement. The 1k charges the 100u and therefore the diode drops zero.6v to prevent the LED from setting out to illuminate on 3v. When a transistor conducts, the collector pulls the 100u down towards the 0v rail and therefore the negative of the electro is actually concerning 2v below the 0v rail. The LED sees 3v + 2v and illuminates terribly brightly when the voltage reaches about 3.4v.  All the energy within the electro is pumped into the LED to supply a really bright flash.
