VIC design session v95: best candidate (Q=1.2, 12.9kHz)
Sweep — Bridge the untested 20-32kHz gap with mid-L chokes at low C while keeping a fine grid around the proven 3.7mH/12.9kHz best, and pair high peak_v with low duty to push Td deep into the CGDE window without breaching the water-gap breakdown ceiling.
- Cell — 8mm rod in 9.0mm tube × 40mm, 8 cell(s) parallel → C_eff = 20.53nF, bulk water R = 1203Ω.
- Water/electrodes (Randles) — 2ppm Na+ @ 25°C, surface ×1 → λ_D 53nm, C_dl 55.8µF, cell series R 509.5Ω, displacement current 53.8%, breakdown margin ×103.
- Vapor-film discharge (CGDE onset, 291V across 0.1mm film) — regime constants-out-of-range, film Paschen 719V, 116 Td — INSIDE the 3-6 eV cold-chemistry window.
- Per-molecule (series micro-capacitor chain) — 1.85M molecules across 0.50mm → 157.21 µV/molecule (polarization (µV band)).
- Chokes — 2 × 0.0037H (1200 turns, AWG 18, 143m wire, AC R 3.0Ω each).
- At resonance f_r = 12.91kHz — Xl = 600Ω, Xc = 600Ω, tank Q = 1.2, coil Q = 100.1.
- Cell voltage 291V from 250V drive (×1.2). Tank current 0.48A circulating (CW upper bound — rate wire/switch for this); average input 15mA at 3% duty.
- No hard violations (band, wire length, dielectric). Average current is scored, not gated.
- Score 0.311.
