Hi Robert, All,

While a disruptive Tesla coil (definitely!) does not produce a pure 
monotonic sine wave, the fundamental mode of oscillation of any LC circuit 
_will_.  Sure in a TC a whole load of harmonics and sparkgap nonlinearities 
distort the sine wave, but the fundamental _is_ a sine, and a TC is _not_ a 
pulse transformer.  Period.
