Self swinging lever...

.....due to a reciprocative self rotation of a pendulum , if we combine :

and

      As a matter of fact we play seesaw or a "switching " driver-follower (two masses...) relation.

This looks like the same thing but a live demo

However, I can see edits in the video where he repeats segments

    Hi !
The problem with this last video is a simple redundancy : it has 3 "segments"( spare parts) vs. Milkovic's lever with pendulum (two "segments"/masses ,only ).
To obtain a continuous unbalance of a lever , we need a certain (variable arm) procedure , as :
    www.geocities.ws/iacob_alex/Some_Drafts/text028.JPG
There are a lot of possible procedures , so to get a continuous variable/oscillattory leverage ("unbalanced lever") , playing two masses/"segments"/spare parts , only:
  -two swinging masses (Milkovic's lever with pendulum)
  -two rotating   masses
  -one swinging mass-one rotating mass
As you see , we can use a "minimal wheel" (two masses on two opposite spokes...) so to imagine and make an easy test of  a possible (continuous ) "unbalanced lever".
Who knows , maybe we can remind Bessler's beneficial quote "greed is an evil root"...
