I was playing around with LC tank oscillator ideas when accidentally an oscillator in Falstad's circuit simulator happened.
I've tweaked the values of passive components to give the nicest waveform. It makes sort of a sawtooth wave with a double-bent back.
I don't know how it really works and can't identify it as known, common, tuned circuit oscillator. I'd be grateful if you had a tip on that.
In case you don't know, here http://www.falstad.com/circuit/, use this import code (File > Import From Text):
