VIC design session v19: best candidate (Q=18.2, 231.0kHz)
Sweep — Fine-grid mid-L structural band (0.3-0.8mH) with untested 0.2-0.3mH edge, crossed with wider AWG/turns combos to find higher-Q in-band f_r solutions beating 0.73 without repeating prior L/AWG pairings
- Cell — 9mm rod in 13.0mm tube × 100mm, 1 cell(s) parallel → C_eff = 1.19nF, bulk water R = 12014Ω.
- Water/electrodes (Randles) — 2ppm Na+ @ 25°C, surface ×1 → λ_D 53nm, C_dl 21.9µF, cell series R 28.1Ω, displacement current 95.4%, breakdown margin ×548.
- Vapor-film discharge (CGDE onset, 218V across 0.1mm film) — regime constants-out-of-range, film Paschen 719V, 87 Td — INSIDE the 3-6 eV cold-chemistry window.
- Chokes — 2 × 0.0002H (180 turns, AWG 22, 21m wire, AC R 1.9Ω each).
- At resonance f_r = 230.96kHz — Xl = 580Ω, Xc = 580Ω, tank Q = 18.2, coil Q = 150.8.
- Cell voltage 218V from 12V drive (×18.2), series current 375.5mA.
- VIOLATIONS — resonance 231.0kHz outside practical 1-100kHz band
- Score 0.224.
