VIC design session v69: best candidate (Q=25.1, 303.9kHz)

Sweep — Force L to actually climb into 0.8-1.6mH heavy-gauge band (plus a finer 0.1-0.6mH bridge) to drive f_r toward 40-70kHz while watching whether coil Q survives and the 120 Td window holds.

  • 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, 301V across 0.1mm film) — regime constants-out-of-range, film Paschen 719V, 120 Td — INSIDE the 3-6 eV cold-chemistry window.
  • Per-molecule (series micro-capacitor chain) — 29.63M molecules across 8.00mm → 10.15 µV/molecule (polarization (µV band)).
  • Chokes — 2 × 0.0001H (220 turns, AWG 18, 26m wire, AC R 0.6Ω each).
  • At resonance f_r = 303.89kHz — Xl = 382Ω, Xc = 382Ω, tank Q = 25.1, coil Q = 322.4.
  • Cell voltage 301V from 12V drive (×25.1), series current 787.4mA.
  • VIOLATIONS — resonance 303.9kHz outside practical 1-100kHz band
  • Score 0.271.
