Voltage Amplifier - Using a
The short answer is... incomplete. You need a couple of things to make this work:


a load resistor on the transistor
some negative feedback to control the gain (if required)


If you want to play around with this kind of a circuit, try the "common emitter" amplifier on Falstad, here: http://www.falstad.com/circuit/ and select the Circuits->Transistors->Common-Emitter Amplifier pulldown.

Here's an edited Falstad example that shows a simple voltage translator / inverter from 3.3V to 9V.
