steam-resonator lane: score 0.2609 (steam-debye-v1)

Score 0.261 — 0.157 kg/hr steam, 0.0% of the heat non-ohmic

Cavity — 1 × coaxial T-304, rod 6.35mm in 22.35mm ID, 100mm active (gap 8.00mm, 36.1 mL water)
Drive — 1200V, 0.010 MHz sequential switchover, 40% phase duty, 10% dead-time
Amp restrict — pickup 500Ω + choke 500Ω resistive wire → leakage 1068.11 mA
Field — ⟨E⟩ 141.2 kV/m, establishes to 100% in the on-time (τ_bulk 276 ns)
Drive shape — BIPOLAR (cross-coupled switchover — field reverses each phase), 1.0ns edges → 1001 odd harmonics counted up to 0.32 GHz
Debye — ε'' = 8.87e-6 at 0.010 MHz; water relaxes at 56.9 GHz → running at 1.76e-5% of the loss peak
Double layer — FROZEN OUT (charges 0.02% per phase, τ_EDL 178142.5 µs) — this is the amp restriction working

Heat budget

dielectric relaxation 6.384e-5 W   ← Stan's "particle impact"
double-layer cycling  5.634e+1 W   ← also amp flow
ohmic leakage         5.635e+1 W   ← the amp flow to restrict
= cavity heat         1.127e+2 W  (0.0% non-ohmic)
VIC resistive loss    9.126e+2 W
electrical input      1.025e+3 W  → thermal η 11.0%
