VIC design session v79: best candidate (Q=25.9, 303.9kHz)

Sweep — Genuinely realize L from turns/geometry, testing under- and over-tuned brackets (1-3mH and 8-10mH) plus a fine grid near the current best, to bound f_r sensitivity beyond the already-swept 4-7mH/55kHz 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, 311V across 0.1mm film) — regime constants-out-of-range, film Paschen 719V, 124 Td — INSIDE the 3-6 eV cold-chemistry window.
  • Per-molecule (series micro-capacitor chain) — 29.63M molecules across 8.00mm → 10.48 µV/molecule (polarization (µV band)).
  • Chokes — 2 × 0.0001H (130 turns, AWG 18, 16m wire, AC R 0.3Ω each).
  • At resonance f_r = 303.89kHz — Xl = 382Ω, Xc = 382Ω, tank Q = 25.9, coil Q = 545.6.
  • Cell voltage 311V from 12V drive (×25.9), series current 813.2mA.
  • VIOLATIONS — resonance 303.9kHz outside practical 1-100kHz band
  • Score 0.273.
