Help! how to use BJT as voltage amplifier with Common-Emitter configuration

http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-ceamp.html

i saw this link..

what should i put to base?? the link i gave has a signal in the base... what should i put?

i only want to amplify my battery's volt....

i did not saw that before when i did this:

THIS:
im using eb1402 and i have 1.5v battery

what i did is put the positive to the base then put the negative side to the ground... the emitter to the ground also.. then i put the collector to my load and the other side of my load to the ground.


i asked this before here and somebody posted that the collector will be the positive side and the emitter will be the negative side.. by i dont know what's wrong.. my load didn't turned on.. im testing it with a simple LEDs.. i tried it without transistor and it worked fine but with transistor nothing is happening just the transistor heating up...

pls help.. thanks..

 

now i know... it is called boost converter..

can you give me a simple design pls? the simplest one.

 

ok. Thanks for the replies anyway

now i learned a new thing again called boost converter.. Thanks again
