Tesla's oscillator was a steam powered machine that resonated at a certain frequency. The frequency that it resonated at could be adjusted to resonate with the natural frequency of any object. It operated on 5 pounds of air pressure acting against a special pneumatic piston device. Tesla used this device in his lab and allegedly caused the resonance of several buildings.
