The two are not incompatible and the circuit in question works,
requires nothing to 'sustain' it, is obviously producible as I made
one, and, as already mentioned, performs as intended.
As for "idle amusement," you're apparently both unfamiliar with the
concept and in need of some.

It's a hell of a lot more 'interesting and challenging' than your
trite solution of rote buying a cookbook part.

I do call it what it is: finding an interesting solution to a problem.
Any half way competent idiot can buy parts but making use of what's at
had takes some imagination and, yes, I enjoy the challenge.
