Many years ago, Scientific American had an article describing adding a magnet 
to the pendulum and the circuitry to drive it.

The basic idea is to mount a magnet on a stiff wire so that it sticks out to 
the side of the pendulum arm, then mount a coil so the magnet will swing 
through it.  Now pulse the coil to get the desired results.
