VIC design session v68: best candidate (Q=25.2, 303.9kHz)

Sweep — Drag f_r under 100kHz by lifting per-choke L into the 0.8-1.6mH heavy-gauge band around the adopted AWG18/220 best, checking if coil Q survives the added wire and the 120 Td window holds in-band.

  • 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, 303V across 0.1mm film) — regime constants-out-of-range, film Paschen 719V, 121 Td — INSIDE the 3-6 eV cold-chemistry window.
  • Per-molecule (series micro-capacitor chain) — 29.63M molecules across 8.00mm → 10.22 µV/molecule (polarization (µV band)).
  • Chokes — 2 × 0.0001H (200 turns, AWG 18, 24m wire, AC R 0.5Ω each).
  • At resonance f_r = 303.89kHz — Xl = 382Ω, Xc = 382Ω, tank Q = 25.2, coil Q = 354.6.
  • Cell voltage 303V from 12V drive (×25.2), series current 793.0mA.
  • VIOLATIONS — resonance 303.9kHz outside practical 1-100kHz band
  • Score 0.272.
