No resonance involved really. Just a matter of a large value inductor. And a cap would make it less: When the inductor is charged, so it the cap. But when power is removed, the magnetic field collapses inducing an opposite voltage spike. This would have to discharge the cap (since the voltage is reversed) and then charge it back up, and would just lessen the spike effect.

Provide the tooth counts of the gears involved and I'll add them. It's due for an update soon anyway, so the more I can stuff in there, the better.
