Artificial candle with flame simulator

A flameless candle comprising:

• a candle body including a base, an upper surface including an aperture, and a translucent sidewall extending between the base and the upper surface, wherein the candle body forms a hollow interior region;
• a projection screen extending upwardly from the upper surface of the candle body, wherein the projection screen comprises a flame shape, and wherein at least a portion of the projection screen is spaced apart from the candle body;
• a supporting portion located within the hollow interior region;
• a moving portion located within the hollow interior region and supported by the supporting portion, wherein the moving portion includes:
• a lens oriented diagonally along a vertical dimension, wherein the lens is transparent, wherein the lens comprises a plurality of degrees of freedom;
• an arm extending downwardly;
• and
• a magnet on the arm;
• a light-emitting diode (LED) located within the hollow interior region, wherein:
• the LED is oriented to project light upwardly and diagonally such that the projected light travels from the LED, through the lens, through the aperture of the upper surface of the candle body, and onto an outer surface of the projection screen;
• and
• the LED is separated by a distance from the lens;
• and
• a circuit including a coil arranged to alternately generate a magnetic field having a first polarity and a magnetic field having a second polarity, such that the magnet in the moving portion is successively attracted to the coil and repelled by the coil.
