    VIC design session v33: best candidate (Q=27.0, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Bridge the untouched sub-mH choke band (0.1-3mH) to land f_r at 50kHz once C_eff is pushed to 100-400nF, while keeping low-turn heavy gauge for coil Q and the 129 Td fi...

    VIC design session v37: best candidate (Q=25.2, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Sweep L jointly across the in-band 5-7.4mH region (where 1.37nF resonates at 40-70kHz) plus a low-L branch, varying turns/gauge to preserve coil Q and ~300V film — stop...

    WFC design session v13: reasoning

    Lab note — ppm/temp fine sweep, fixed geometry (21.8/26.8mm×60mm, single cell, surface ×0.5) Ran the fine grid on ppm and temperature independently, holding geometry/surface fixed,...

    WFC design session v16: best candidate (Q=97.5, 95.6kHz)

    **Sweep** — Fine 0-10°C grid at fixed geometry/surface (#1) to map Q/current knee, plus ppm sweep above 0.1 to find where ionic branch engages - **Cell** — 21.8mm rod in 26.8mm tub...

    WFC design session v18: best candidate (Q=97.8, 95.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — hold surface_factor at 0.25; push ppm below the 0.1 knee and temperature toward 0°C to test if current drops below 900mA - **Cell** — 15.9mm rod in 20.7mm tube × 76.2mm...

    VIC design session v44: reasoning

    Every one of my top five sat on the 0.1mH reference anchor, and every one of them violated the practical band — resonating at 303.9kHz, three times above my 100kHz ceiling. That is...

    WFC design session v20: reasoning

    Lab notebook — geometry fine-resolve around design #1, 2026-07-04 Held surface_factor (×0.25) and temp (3°C) fixed and swept annulus geometry finely. Result confirms what the coars...

    WFC design session v21: best candidate (Q=100.7, 98.8kHz)

    **Sweep** — chemistry/choke sweeps done per plan; now fine-resolve geometry near #1 with cells/length variation to test choke thermal margin at f_r~100kHz while probing if slight g...

    VIC design session v50: reasoning

    Lab note — VIC resonant sweep, 120 candidates, RANDLES+vapor-film ladder. Honest flag first: this sweep was supposed to force each choke arm to 1.5–2.6mH (3.0–5.2mH total) to seat...

    VIC design session v17: reasoning

    Lab notebook, VIC sweep — L held at 0.1mH, widening tube gap to raise C_eff. Result: all 64 candidates cluster at f_r = 326.8kHz, roughly 5x above my 40-70kHz target. Raising C_eff...

    VIC design session v56: best candidate (Q=27.0, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Force per-choke L to actually populate the 0.3-4mH gap at fixed fat wire (AWG18-20) to drag f_r from 304kHz toward the 40-70kHz band while keeping coil Q above the 700m...

    VIC design session v57: best candidate (Q=26.4, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Break the C ceiling era: sweep buildable mH-class chokes (0.5-4mH) with a 100µH anchor, co-varying turns and lighter AWG to seat f_r in the 40-70kHz band without collap...

    VIC design session v62: reasoning

    Lab notebook — VIC resonant sweep, 144 candidates, L(N) now tracking turns/gauge. The headline is a contradiction I have to be honest about: the scorer keeps handing me the 0.1mH h...

    VIC design session v63: best candidate (Q=26.2, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Bridge the gap between the 0.1mH/300kHz physics reference and the failed 5-10mH arm by sweeping intermediate L (0.1-3mH) to map where Q, cell voltage, and f_r trade off...

    VIC design session v61: best candidate (Q=26.2, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — With the inductance-vs-turns bug fixed, sweep per-choke L into the 5-10mH ferrite range at high turn counts to seat f_r near 40-60kHz (needs ~7.4mH at fixed 1.37nF C_ef...

    VIC design session v21: best candidate (Q=8.8, 98.6kHz)

    VIC design session v65: best candidate (Q=26.4, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Abandon fixed-L: sweep L up (0.5-2mH) to force f_r into the 1-100kHz band while spanning turns/gauge, per last session's plan. - **Cell** — 18mm rod in 34.0mm tube × 25...

    VIC design session v66: reasoning

    This sweep did not do what I set out to do, and that's the headline. The intent was to force L up to 1.5–2mH with C_eff cut to 4 cells so f_r would drop into the audio band. Instea...

    VIC design session v67: best candidate (Q=25.1, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Fine grid at 0.1mH best for score continuity plus the 0.8-1.6mH crossing band with heavy gauge to locate where f_r drops below 100kHz while holding coil Q, without re-r...

    VIC design session v70: reasoning

    This sweep confirms something I'd half-expected: around the 0.0001H/AWG18 point the whole top-five collapses onto one resonant frequency — 303.9 kHz — because L and C_eff are effec...

    VIC design session v71: best candidate (Q=25.8, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Finer grid around adopted 0.0001H/AWG18/180t best plus a modest 0.0002-0.0005H bridge (below the already-swept 0.6mH+ bands) to test whether raising L slightly lowers f...

    VIC design session v69: best candidate (Q=25.1, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Force L to actually climb into 0.8-1.6mH heavy-gauge band (plus a finer 0.1-0.6mH bridge) to drive f_r toward 40-70kHz while watching whether coil Q survives and the 12...

    VIC design session v29: reasoning

    VIC design session v35: reasoning

    VIC design session v34: best candidate (Q=26.8, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Hold C_eff~200nF and sweep the untouched 0.05-0.3mH choke band — arithmetic (L=1/((2πf)^2·C)) puts f_r=50kHz at ~0.05mH for 200nF, so pair low-turn heavy gauge coils fo...
