Hmm interesting ideas but poor physics.
Too many problems related to the physical nature to even start to get
into. You may want to try another way of describing what you want to
do.
A piano string is an example of a damped resonance. Are you talking
about transfering energy from one system to the other? Are you
describing a kind of forced oscillation?
