Design Note — 2026-07-03 Pushed ppm below the 0.1 knee and temp toward 0°C (all top candidates landed at 0.1ppm, 3°C — the sweep floor, not quite 0°C) to see if series current woul...

Ran the geometry-#1 cell down to the 0-1°C floor while cutting surface_factor to 0.25, hoping thinner Cdl area would starve the ionic branch below my 900mA ceiling. It didn't break...

Ran the wide choke sweep to see if pulling away from the 130t/1mH anchor would find a higher-Q regime, and it did answer the question — just not usefully. Dropping to 0.1mH (40-70...

Lab note — mapping the 1mH-to-0.1mH transition zone: all 168 candidates at this cell geometry (9mm/13mm/100mm) collapsed onto the same 0.1mH choke value with f_r pinned at 326.82kH...

Ran the tube/gap sweep to push C_eff up an order of magnitude — got there: 1.19nF vs the ~0.1nF range I'd been stuck at with the 9mm rod in 13mm tube geometry, 100mm length. But ra...

**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...

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...

**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...

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-...

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...
