Hi Laurence,
     Many decades ago, in the era of analog computers, LC circuits were 
used to emulate the shock-absorber/spring combinations in automobile 
suspensions. Perhaps the engineering is reversible?

I'm still toying with the idea of a physical model
much like a tuning fork, but that models the Tesla
coil resonance amplification.

Does the primary tank impedance match the secondary when tuned?

There is a mechanical analog to impedance and it wouldn't be too much of a
stretch
to reach reactance.

dissimilar materials could be used to "delay" wavefronts to create a
capacitor/inductor model.
