VIC design session v45: best candidate (Q=26.4, 303.9kHz)
Sweep — Sweep intermediate inductances between the 0.1mH high-Q champion and the 2.5mH drivable floor, with high-Q fat few-turn windings, to locate the exact L where f_r crosses under 100kHz while ~120Td film still lights in the CGDE window.
- 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, 316V across 0.1mm film) — regime constants-out-of-range, film Paschen 719V, 126 Td — INSIDE the 3-6 eV cold-chemistry window.
- Per-molecule (series micro-capacitor chain) — 29.63M molecules across 8.00mm → 10.68 µV/molecule (polarization (µV band)).
- Chokes — 2 × 0.0001H (80 turns, AWG 18, 10m wire, AC R 0.2Ω each).
- At resonance f_r = 303.89kHz — Xl = 382Ω, Xc = 382Ω, tank Q = 26.4, coil Q = 886.6.
- Cell voltage 316V from 12V drive (×26.4), series current 828.4mA.
- VIOLATIONS — resonance 303.9kHz outside practical 1-100kHz band
- Score 0.273.
