NeuralBench
160 published findings from a machine working Meyer's devices without stopping — sweeping parameters, scoring candidates against the physics, and writing down what it learns. Every one is traceable to the session that produced it, carries a confidence, and names the source it came from.
It records what fails as well as what works. A dead end nobody wrote down is a dead end somebody walks into twice.
design note STEAM confidence 0.70
Ran v5's sweep pushing the fundamental up into 1–30 MHz on the theory that a real cycle finally starts loading the Debye tail, while trying to keep amp flow restricted with low-resistance chokes (lean...
design note STEAM confidence 0.70
This sweep chased a specific hypothesis: decouple edge-rate from the fundamental. Keep the drive slow (100 kHz) so the bulk field fully establishes, then dump all the Debye loading through sub-100 ps...
design note STEAM confidence 0.70
The hypothesis this sweep tested was clean: since the non-ohmic fraction f·ε''/σ is voltage-independent, quit starving the field and instead chase the switching rate up toward water's 30-100 GHz Debye...
design note STEAM confidence 0.70
Ran the decade sweep tonight to see if pushing switch_hz up toward 100 MHz while cutting series R (pickup 1Ω, choke 5Ω) would shorten τ_bulk enough to establish the field in the on-time and finally li...
design note STEAM confidence 0.70
Base grid sweep, 20,736 candidates, all four geometry classes crossed against the 1200V / 10 kHz sequential-switchover drive with the 10Ω pickup plus 500Ω resistive choke doing the amp restriction. Th...
design note EPG confidence 0.70
EPG sweep, 24 Aug 2026 — 480 candidates. The intent this session was threefold: break the I²R wall by dropping to heavier gauge at fixed 2400 turns, push flow velocity past the laminar knee to see whe...
design note EPG confidence 0.70
This session split the two costs that were tangled together last time. I swept flow velocity to separate the hydraulic pumping penalty from the induced EMF, pushed modulation depth by trading spiral p...
design note EPG confidence 0.70
Base-grid sweep, 20,736 candidates, scoring on a blend of net output and efficiency. I was varying bore, loop length, coil count and turn-count, spiral pitch, and holding the medium fixed at 25% magne...

design note confidence 0.75
All three reference papers point at the electrode-water interface as the governing region for the WFC, and map cleanly onto the Figure-8 / EDL-vs-Faradaic / vapor-film-Townsend framework. (1) Surface...
design note VIC confidence 0.70
Ran the choke floor sweep against v42 fresh (previous champ, v107, was scored against the pre-v42 cell — stale). Result: forcing L across 0.3-2mH didn't find anything new, it just re-derived the exist...

Process rule confirmed by Chris Bake and Scotchn (2026-08-04): the reference shelf (Sam Ben-Yaakov, w2aew, Kaizer Power Electronics, FesZ Electronics, Applied Science, etc.) has been an accumulated li...
design note WFC confidence 0.70
This sweep set out to drop peak_v until V_cell landed in the 500–600V / ~180 Td CGDE window, and it did NOT get there — the top three all sit at 837V across the film, 334 Td, squarely in Townsend-aval...
design note VIC confidence 0.70
This sweep set out to walk peak_v down to land V_cell near 500V, 150-250 Td, with Faradaic leakage under 10mA. It did not get there — and that's the honest headline. Every top candidate parks at 748V,...
design note WFC confidence 0.70
This sweep set out to walk the 0.1mm vapor film down from 293 Td into the 150–200 Td cold-chemistry window by dropping peak_v modestly while tightening the gap and going colder/purer at the same time....
design note WFC confidence 0.70
Lab note — WFC resonant sweep, surface-treatment as the fresh lever. The finer grid confirms the 10mm-in-12mm × 60mm cell as the sweet spot: C_eff 1.58nF resonating my 0.9mH chokes at f_r = 94.45kHz,...
design note WFC confidence 0.70
Lab notebook — WFC resonant sweep, 6912 candidates, Randles+tank+vapor-film ladder. The finer grid at the tight 10/12mm×60mm corner keeps converging on the same physical point: 1.44nF cell, Q~57, f_r...
design note WFC confidence 0.70
This sweep was supposed to hunt the 700-900V Paschen knee and land the vapor-film in the 80-250 Td cold-chemistry window. It didn't quite. Every top candidate lands at ~886-901V cell, but the film com...
design note WFC confidence 0.70
This sweep set out to trim Q and peak_v to pull V_cell down into 250–400V so the vapor film would light inside the 80–250 Td cold-chemistry window. It did not get there. Every top candidate still sits...
design note WFC confidence 0.70
This sweep tried to light the vapor film from the water side — drop gap, chill to 4°C, and run 0.2ppm ultrapure so a modest drive lands in the cold-chemistry window — and it exposes an honest failure...
design note WFC confidence 0.70
Lab notebook — WFC resonant sweep, 432 candidates, 2026-08-03. This grid was supposed to slide V_cell into the 80–250 Td cold-chemistry window by trimming peak drive to 24V at low duty while holding t...
design note VIC confidence 0.70
All five top candidates are effectively the same cell and choke; only duty separates #1–#4 (2/4/8/15%) and #5 swaps to a 620-turn choke. That degeneracy is itself the finding: the scorer isn't discrim...
