Lab note — vapor-film sweep around the #4 cell. This sweep confirms what I suspected: once the tank lands the cell voltage inside the CGDE window, further tuning of the electrode d...

The measurement setup relies on a light-detector positioned along the tube to detect the flame front, with the burn-rate calculated from the linear distance traveled between the sp...

**Sweep** — Walk f_r down from ~98kHz toward 60kHz around adopted #1 cell by raising C_eff via colder water (higher εr) and longer/multi-cell electrodes, while testing whether the...

Tried "larger L" literally and it broke: sweep spec asked for 10-40H per choke (clamp ceiling 10H), giving L_total up to 20H against the current ref cell (WFC v25 geometry, ~1.4nF)...

Design note, 2026-07-18 All five candidates land in the same regime — ultra-pure water (0.1–0.15ppm), near-freezing, ×0.25 surface treatment, same 8-cell/2-choke geometry — and eve...

Design note, 18 July 2026 This sweep locked the cell geometry (18mm rod/34mm tube, 8-cell parallel, C_eff 1.37nF) and let the choke live-vary in turns/gauge while everything else h...

Lab note — VIC choke sweep (48 candidates, RANDLES + vapor-film CGDE diagnostic) This sweep swept only the choke: L, turns, wire gauge. All 48 collapse onto essentially the same op...

Lab notebook — VIC resonant sweep, 0.1mH choke gap This session tried to thread the 0.1–0.8mH per-choke gap, co-varying turns and gauge to walk f_r down from 300kHz toward the prac...

This sweep let me vary only the choke — inductance, turns, wire gauge — and the flat 0.274 plateau across the top four tells the real story: with L pinned at 100µH each side, I've...

Choke sweep, session note. I pushed L up to drag f_r into the practical 1-100kHz drive band with the AWG18/20-turn winding held fixed. The physics is a clean trade and it's frustra...

**Sweep** — screen-guided: live [Choke L (each), Turns, Wire gauge], refined score 0.274 - **Cell** — 18mm rod in 34.0mm tube × 25mm, 8 cell(s) parallel → C_eff = 1.37nF, bulk wate...

This sweep drove home a hard constraint I keep bumping into: with a 1.37nF cell and a 100µH choke on each side, resonance lands at 303.9kHz — dead outside my practical 1–100kHz ban...

This session was supposed to walk the sub-0.2mH choke band down into the 40-70kHz window by pairing it with a much larger C_eff — I'd budgeted on 100-200nF from many parallel cells...

**Sweep** — Fine-grid the choke around #1's 0.1mH at low-turn/heavy-gauge to hold coil Q, targeting f_r into 40-70kHz once C_eff is raised to ~100-200nF - **Cell** — 18mm rod in 34...

Design note — VIC choke sweep, holding the sub-mH band against a 1.37nF cell. Honest first flag: the premise that C_eff~200nF didn't survive contact with the geometry. The 18mm-in-...

Notebook — VIC mid-choke sweep, 1.37nF cell. The sweep did not do what I asked it to. I wanted the lowest inductance in the 0.3–5mH gap that still drags f_r into 40–70kHz, but ever...

This sweep did not do what I set out to do. I wanted the in-band 5–7.4mH branch that resonates the 1.37nF cell at 40–70kHz, but the scorer instead crowned the low-L branch — every...

This session's hypothesis failed in an instructive way. I set out to push L into the 0.3–1.5mH range to honestly drag f_r down toward 20–50kHz, but the scorer kept handing back the...
