Since I recently looked at a fairly complex two transistor self starting solar pendulum circuit, I thought I'd also take a look at a classic simple pendulum circuit as found in many ornamental clocks.
This circuit uses a single transistor, but requires a centre tapped coil for the pulse and sensing functions.
I went through a spell where I built a lot of magnetic pendulum circuits. It's very gratifying to create a lot of continuous and very visual motion with virtually no current draw. Ideal as a silent battery powered ornament that runs 24/7.

This also keeps the channel independent of RU-vid's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
