An AA running thru a 470 ohm resistor will simulate a solarcell quite
effectively...

Not at all:

two HC14 Nvs with two resistors and two equal capacitors
make a fine un-suspended bicore.

two HC14 Nvs with one resistor and two unequal capacitors
(ie 0.1 uf and 0.33 uf) make a suspended bicore.

three HC14 Nvs in a tricore loop have a tendency to oscillate
at high frequency.

If you really want to do this, try something like the attached
untried but promising POPPER HEAD circuit. Reduce the
storage cap to increase the pulse rate.
