your picture is now correct,
the inductors will ring to some degree,
but if you set up the spark gap, your coil, and your capacitor correct, you can get the current to only flow one direction.
(you might want to look up snubber circuits)
but,
it is way easier to do it the modern way with an arbitrary waveform generator, just set the waveform you want, and connect a power amplifier.
remember that tesla used a magnetically quenched spark gap.
he did this so that when current started to flow, it would open.
so the waveform might not be quite what you found on the web for waveform.
