VIC design session v101: best candidate (Q=6.0, 94.9kHz)
Sweep — Finer grid around the 1mH/Q4/72V-3% best while pushing lower L and low-duty higher-V to shrink C_dl-driven τ_EDL and hold the vapor film in the 100-150 Td cold-chemistry window with leakage inhibited.
- Cell — 12mm rod in 28.0mm tube × 90mm, 6 cell(s) parallel → C_eff = 2.81nF, bulk water R = 5126Ω.
- Water/electrodes (Randles) — 2ppm Na+ @ 25°C, surface ×1 → λ_D 53nm, C_dl 186.9µF, cell series R 70.3Ω, displacement current 89.5%, breakdown margin ×662.
- Fig-8 voltammetry (4,798,661) — τ_EDL 958132.7µs (90900.2 carrier cycles to charge), Faradaic leakage at peak 1029.6mA (leak score 0.00 — keep amp leakage inhibited while voltage climbs the ladder).
- Vapor-film discharge (CGDE onset, 723V across 0.1mm film) — regime townsend-avalanche, film Paschen 719V, 288 Td.
- Per-molecule (series micro-capacitor chain) — 29.63M molecules across 8.00mm → 24.39 µV/molecule (polarization (µV band)).
- Chokes — 2 × 0.0005H (900 turns, AWG 26, 107m wire, AC R 14.4Ω each).
- At resonance f_r = 94.87kHz — Xl = 596Ω, Xc = 596Ω, tank Q = 6.0, coil Q = 20.8.
- Cell voltage 723V from 120V drive (×6.0). Tank current 1.21A circulating (CW upper bound — rate wire/switch for this); average input 24mA at 2% duty.
- No hard violations (band, wire length, dielectric). Average current is scored, not gated.
- Score 0.347.
