In tesla coils?!!!

I've only heard of nonlinear coupling as part of Chaotic Dynamics.  When
making a Mandelbrot-Set fractal, squaring the numbers is essentially the
nonlinear coupling between iterations.

In physics and electronics, if you couple two oscillators together with a
nonlinear element, their waveform can exhibit Deterministic Chaos, where
XY time lag pictures of the waveform look fractal, and where the frequency
spectrum is 1/F noise or "flicker noise."   In electronics you can build a
Chaos oscillator using coils and diodes driven by
