**Sweep** — Prior L sweeps (0.15-2.5mH) with 3-4 parallel cells never landed f_r in-band; test unexplored 0.02-0.15mH low-L region plus 2.5-5mH high-L region, both at Q-preserving...

Ran the low-L bracket (0.02-0.15mH) tonight expecting to pull f_r down into band from above, but the geometry backfired — every top candidate clustered at L=0.1mH and landed at 326...

**Sweep** — Fine-grid mid-L structural band (0.3-0.8mH) with untested 0.2-0.3mH edge, crossed with wider AWG/turns combos to find higher-Q in-band f_r solutions beating 0.73 withou...

Lab note, 2026-07-10 — mid-L sweep (0.3-0.8mH band + 0.2-0.3mH edge) All five top candidates converge on the same 0.0002H choke value regardless of AWG/turns fill — the geometric C...

**Sweep** — Hold ppm/temp at #1-4's avalanche-crossing values (0.1ppm, 60C) and sweep geometry — larger rod OD, wider gap, longer electrodes — to pull f_r below 100kHz without drop...

**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, 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...

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...

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...

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-...
