(#0093) World's Simplest Single Transistor Oscillator - BJT with Negative Resistance
Why people recommend it
Cited to explain how a transistor driven into breakdown shows negative resistance and can be made to blink an LED as a simple oscillator.
Watch for: Unusual circuit, not how transistors are normally switched
