Hi Albert

Electrum, and all other DC coils out there, do output high freq. ac just 
like any other Tesla coil.  The charging supply makes no difference to the 
output.  It would be possible to construct a system as you described, with 3 
tank capacitors and a spark gap that fired them each in turn, however a DC 
reso charger is a much more elegant and efficient way of achieving 3 phase 
operation.
