Your belief is, to put it mildly, absurd.  How absurd?  As an example, for a
Tesla coil secondary to resonate at about 8 Hz, you would first need to
build a toroid about 100 ft in diameter & 10 ft thick which would have a
capacitance of about 1100 pF.  This would sit on top of a secondary 100 ft
in diameter and 600 ft high.  On this would be wound about 777 miles of #16
wire!"

Steve:

   How could you wind 777 miles of #16 wire on a form 100 feet in 
diameter and 600 feet high?
