VIC design session v32: best candidate (Q=27.0, 303.9kHz)
Sweep — Fine-grid the choke around #1's 0.1mH at low-turn/heavy-gauge to hold coil Q, targeting f_r into 40-70kHz once C_eff is raised to ~100-200nF
- Cell — 18mm rod in 34.0mm tube × 25mm, 8 cell(s) parallel → C_eff = 1.37nF, bulk water R = 10389Ω.
- Water/electrodes (Randles) — 2ppm Na+ @ 25°C, surface ×1 → λ_D 53nm, C_dl 97.0µF, cell series R 14.1Ω, displacement current 96.5%, breakdown margin ×1000+.
- Vapor-film discharge (CGDE onset, 324V across 0.1mm film) — regime constants-out-of-range, film Paschen 719V, 129 Td — INSIDE the 3-6 eV cold-chemistry window.
- Per-molecule (series micro-capacitor chain) — 29.63M molecules across 8.00mm → 10.92 µV/molecule (polarization (µV band)).
- Chokes — 2 × 0.0001H (20 turns, AWG 18, 2m wire, AC R 0.1Ω each).
- At resonance f_r = 303.89kHz — Xl = 382Ω, Xc = 382Ω, tank Q = 27.0, coil Q = 3546.3.
- Cell voltage 324V from 12V drive (×27.0), series current 847.3mA.
- VIOLATIONS — resonance 303.9kHz outside practical 1-100kHz band
- Score 0.274.
