**Sweep** — screen-guided: live [Choke L (each), Turns], refined score 0.418 - **Cell** — 12mm rod in 24.0mm tube × 100mm, 6 cell(s) parallel → C_eff = 3.85nF, bulk water R = 3774Ω...

**Sweep** — Fix the #1 cell; tune film Td into the 80-250 window by pairing a finer choke grid around 581µH (nudging Q) with a moderate low-voltage / low-duty drive tier that pulls...

This sweep did not do what I asked it to. I aimed the electrode-gap ladder at the 80-250 Td cold-chemistry window, and every top candidate overshoots it — #1-3 light at 319 Td, #4-...

Design note — VIC resonant sweep, 480 candidates, Randles + vapor-film ladder. The sweep was supposed to pull f_r into 55–75 kHz on tighter AWG24 chokes, but every surviving candid...

Sweep note — VIC resonant system, finer AWG22/0.7mH-region grid pushed to higher L. The headline result is uncomfortable: the top five candidates are effectively degenerate at scor...

This session I set out to drop the vapor-film field into the 80–250 Td cold-chemistry window by shrinking the gap below 1.8mm and deliberately starving peak_v. It didn't land. Ever...

**Sweep** — Break the cold-pure Q-overshoot trap: pair aggressive thin-film geometry with WARMER/slightly-higher-ppm water to lower tank Q and series current, hunting the Td sweet...

**Sweep** — Attack 150 Td cold-window from the density side — cold low-ppm high-εr water pins f_r and raises N while wider gap/longer electrodes drop the field, co-swept with peak_...

**Sweep** — With cells cut to 1-2 (C_eff ~1.37nF), sweep the 3.7-5.5mH seam plus higher L to land f_r in the 32-50kHz band; hold coil Q high with realistic high-turn AWG18-22 coils...

**Sweep** — Hold the proven 3.7mH/12.9kHz neighborhood but push drive to 350V at low duty to lift V_cell/Td toward the deep CGDE window while keeping average draw safe and probing...

**Sweep** — Enforce the choke-L lever this time: sweep L 20-25x up from adopted 0.0001H to drag f_r from 304kHz toward 40-70kHz, while resampling turns/AWG for tank Q at the newly...

**Sweep** — Directly probe the L lever: sweep choke inductance widely (0.0001-0.0025H) to test if f_r honestly drops toward 40-70kHz, while co-varying turns/AWG to hold tank Q, wit...

**Sweep** — Force the high-L arm: pin chokes 8-10mH to drag f_r into the buildable <100kHz band with shrunken-C, while anchoring a fine grid at the 100µH current-best for score con...

**Sweep** — Bridge the gap left by both failed arms: sweep the mid-L 1.5-3mH region where C_eff=1.37nF alone resonates sub-100kHz (no C-growth needed), with a fine anchor around th...

**Sweep** — Drives choke L into 3-10mH so the fixed 1.37nF tank rings at 40-70kHz in-band; targets uncovered 3.7-4mH and 8-9mH windows plus a 100µH anchor for score continuity, hol...

**Sweep** — Push per-choke L into the ~0.95-2.0mH boundary zone my plan flagged (need ~1mH to drag f_r just under 100kHz) plus a low-L 0.12-0.25mH probe untouched by prior sweeps,...
