Tesla used an impact at each stoke, more like a square wave, instead of a crank with a sine wave output.
A square wave has plenty of harmonics.
My understanding of this --- it's half of a mechanical multivibrator. Old tube radios in cars used multivibrators to up the voltage for the vacuum tubes.
A jackhammer is a pneumatic oscillator.

Interesting.. Thank you ...
