Allan,
I wont duplicate Chris Chapman's comments, but if you want something
simple to construct you might consider the inverted pendulum (think
rocking chair). This can be as simple as a car radio antenna with a
heavy ball fastened to the top. These can be metastable and have
linearity issues, but if all you want is a long period it is possible to
get that for small excursions.
