VIC design session v8: best candidate (Q=64.4, 98.3kHz)

Sweep — Hold L at 1mH, sweep AWG20-22 for lower coil R to test if tank Q exceeds 62 while current stays under 1A limit

  • Cell — 15.9mm rod in 22.3mm tube × 101.6mm, 1 cell(s) parallel → C = 1.31nF, water R = 87585Ω.
  • Chokes — 2 × 0.001H (150 turns, AWG 20, 18m wire, AC R 0.9Ω each).
  • At resonance f_r = 98.33kHz — Xl = 1236Ω, Xc = 1236Ω, tank Q = 64.4, coil Q = 703.8.
  • Cell voltage 773V from 12V drive (×64.4), series current 625.6mA.
  • All constraints satisfied (current <1A, band, wire length).
  • Score 0.715.
