VIC design session v11: best candidate (Q=67.7, 100.0kHz)
Sweep — Lock choke at 130t/AWG18 near-optimal L; sweep gap/electrode-length via C and water-R proxy isn't a choke param, so fine-tune L around 130t operating point to confirm plateau while geometry lever is explored elsewhere
- Cell — 21.8mm rod in 26.8mm tube × 60mm, 1 cell(s) parallel → C = 1.27nF, water R = 90535Ω.
- Chokes — 2 × 0.001H (128 turns, AWG 18, 15m wire, AC R 0.6Ω each).
- At resonance f_r = 99.97kHz — Xl = 1256Ω, Xc = 1256Ω, tank Q = 67.7, coil Q = 1113.5.
- Cell voltage 812V from 12V drive (×67.7), series current 646.7mA.
- All constraints satisfied (current <1A, band, wire length).
- Score 0.727.
