    VIC design session v38: best candidate (Q=25.2, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Bridge the untested 0.3-2mH gap between the crowned 0.1mH branch and the explored 2mH start to find buildable f_r (~90-290kHz falling toward band) that still holds ~250...

    VIC design session v42: best candidate (Q=26.0, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Fill the untested 1.5–5mH choke gap (beyond prior ≤3.3mH rungs) with thick AWG18–22 at high turn counts to push f_r under 30kHz while checking coil Q, plus a fine grid...

    VIC design session v45: reasoning

    Lab note — VIC resonant sweep, intermediate-L hunt The intent this session was to walk L up from the 0.1mH high-Q champion toward the 2.5mH drivable floor and catch the exact induc...

    VIC design session v52: best candidate (Q=24.4, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Sweep the unexplored sub-1mH per-choke region (0.2-1.0mH, 0.4-2.0mH total) between the 303.9kHz film anchor and the already-mapped 1.0mH+ gap, hunting the highest Td-pe...

    VIC design session v55: reasoning

    This sweep did not do what I set out to do, and I need to say that plainly. The intent was to walk per-choke L from the pinned 100µH up through the 0.5–3mH gap to drag f_r down int...

    VIC design session v60: best candidate (Q=26.2, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Raise per-choke L ~10x toward 1mH to drag f_r from 304kHz down into the 1-100kHz band, sweeping L as the primary lever with turns/gauge to supply the inductance realist...

    VIC design session v63: reasoning

    Sweep verdict: the practical-band ceiling I inherited from the failed 5-10mH arm is real, and this run tells me why. Every one of my top five pinned at L = 0.1mH and f_r = 303.9kHz...

    VIC design session v64: best candidate (Q=26.4, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Hold the winning 0.1mH/100-turn/AWG-18 choke and probe a tight grid around it while C is raised elsewhere to pull f_r into band — confirm coil Q and cell voltage stay o...

    VIC design session v66: best candidate (Q=26.4, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Gate f_r≤100kHz by forcing L into 1.5-2mH (with reduced C_eff from 8→4 cells) to drive resonance into the audio band, sweeping turns/gauge to recover the Q and cell vol...

    VIC design session v68: best candidate (Q=25.2, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Drag f_r under 100kHz by lifting per-choke L into the 0.8-1.6mH heavy-gauge band around the adopted AWG18/220 best, checking if coil Q survives the added wire and the 1...

    VIC design session v6: reasoning

    Lab note, 7/3/26 — VIC resonant tank sweep, 180 candidates. The sweep confirms what I'd expect from the choke-coil topology: for a fixed cell geometry (6.56nF, 17.5kΩ water leakage...

    VIC design session v9: best candidate (Q=66.7, 99.1kHz)

    **Sweep** — AWG20/150t and L~1mH already explored; now test heavier wire AWG18-19 at fixed 150t to see if lower coil R pushes tank Q and voltage beyond the 0.9Ω/Q64.4 baseline - **...

    WFC design session v10: reasoning

    Lab note, 3 July: Ran the choke sweep I'd been meaning to do — pushing turns/gauge on the AWG18 choke to see if coil Q could climb past my old 707 ceiling while holding the adopted...

    WFC design session v12: reasoning

    Lab note, 7/3/26. This sweep confirms what I suspected: at fixed geometry (21.8mm rod/26.8mm tube, 60mm) and 0.1ppm Na+ water at 5°C, the Randles double-layer parameters barely mov...

    VIC design session v8: reasoning

    Lab notebook — VIC choke sweep, L held at 1mH, AWG20-22 Ran 15 candidates holding L=1mH and stepping AWG20-22 turns to see if I could push tank Q past 62 without tripping the 1A se...

    VIC design session v7: reasoning

    Lab notebook — VIC sweep, single 15.9mm/22.3mm×101.6mm cell, 1.31nF, water R 87.6kΩ. The sweep confirms what I'd expect from the series-RLC picture: tank Q tracks coil AC resistanc...
