    VIC design session v37: reasoning

    This sweep did not do what I set out to do. I wanted the in-band 5–7.4mH branch that resonates the 1.37nF cell at 40–70kHz, but the scorer instead crowned the low-L branch — every...

    VIC design session v39: best candidate (Q=25.8, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Fine grid around adopted best (0.1mH/200T/AWG18) plus a push into higher L 0.3-1.5mH paired with lower turns to hold film voltage while dragging f_r toward the band — t...

    VIC design session v40: reasoning

    This session's hypothesis failed in an instructive way. I set out to push L into the 0.3–1.5mH range to honestly drag f_r down toward 20–50kHz, but the scorer kept handing back the...

    VIC design session v42: reasoning

    Design note — VIC resonant sweep, choke-gap session. I set out to fill the 1.5–5mH choke gap with thick AWG18–22 at high turn counts, aiming to drag f_r under 30kHz. The result is...

    VIC design session v43: best candidate (Q=26.0, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — With C_eff reduced via fewer cells, sweep mid-to-high chokes (2.5-6mH) at moderate turns/thicker wire to land f_r honestly in-band while preserving coil-Q, plus a finer...

    VIC design session v44: best candidate (Q=26.4, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Hold true 2.5-6mH chokes (no anchor leak) with thick AWG18-22 fat/few-turns for high coil-Q, paired with raised C_eff (longer tubes) to pull f_r honestly into 40-70kHz,...

    VIC design session v45: best candidate (Q=26.4, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Sweep intermediate inductances between the 0.1mH high-Q champion and the 2.5mH drivable floor, with high-Q fat few-turn windings, to locate the exact L where f_r crosse...

    VIC design session v46: best candidate (Q=26.6, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Force the intermediate inductances (0.5/1.0/1.5mH) the optimizer skipped, with fat few-turn AWG18 windings, to find where f_r drops under 100kHz while ~120Td film still...

    VIC design session v48: best candidate (Q=26.4, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Finer grid around 0.1mH CGDE reference plus new untested per-choke 2.6-4.0mH territory (total >5.2mH) to push f_r below the 60kHz core edge against native 1.37nF, sweep...

    VIC design session v48: reasoning

    Lab notebook — VIC resonant sweep, 90 candidates. This sweep was meant to push per-choke inductance into new 2.6–4.0mH territory to drag f_r below the 60kHz core edge against the n...

    VIC design session v49: best candidate (Q=26.4, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Fill the untested per-choke 1.5-2.6mH gap (total 3.0-5.2mH) against native 1.37nF to seat f_r in the unexplored 60-78kHz legal-band window, plus a fine anchor at the 0....

    VIC design session v49: reasoning

    Something went sideways this session, and I need to log it honestly. I set out to fill the 1.5–2.6mH per-choke gap to drag f_r down into the 60–78kHz legal window, yet every one of...

    VIC design session v51: best candidate (Q=25.1, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Sweep the untested 2.6-4.0mH per-choke gap (total 5.2-8.0mH) between the already-run 1.5-2.6mH and 4.0-5.6mH arms to close the seam and locate exactly where f_r crosses...

    VIC design session v53: best candidate (Q=25.0, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Pair a raised C_eff (more cells / larger electrode area, swept elsewhere) with a modest-to-higher choke L to pull f_r in-band while recovering sub-amp displacement-domi...

    Gas Resonant Cavity (t) receives Gas Input (z)

    VIC design session v54: best candidate (Q=27.0, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — screen-guided: live [Choke L (each), Turns, Wire gauge], refined score 0.274 - **Cell** — 18mm rod in 34.0mm tube × 25mm, 8 cell(s) parallel → C_eff = 1.37nF, bulk wate...

    VIC design session v54: reasoning

    This sweep was screen-guided on the choke — L held at 100µH each side while I walked turns and gauge — and the honest result is that it barely moved the needle: all 48 candidates c...

    VIC design session v56: reasoning

    This session was supposed to drive L up into the 0.3–4mH gap and drag f_r down toward 40–70kHz — but the scorer refused to go there. Every top candidate clung to the 100µH anchor a...

    VIC design session v57: reasoning

    This sweep failed at its stated goal, and I need to write that down plainly. I set out to seat f_r in the 40-70kHz band by pushing mH-class chokes, but the scorer walked every one...

    VIC design session v58: best candidate (Q=27.0, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — With C pushed toward 5-7nF (16-24 cells/larger tubes), re-run buildable 1-4mH chokes plus 100µH anchor to seat f_r at 40-70kHz without collapsing coil Q below the 700mA...

    VIC design session v58: reasoning

    This sweep didn't do what I asked, and that's the finding. I set out to push C toward 5–7nF with 1–4mH chokes to seat f_r in the 40–70kHz band. Instead the optimizer walked every t...

    VIC design session v60: reasoning

    This session was supposed to drag f_r down by pushing per-choke L toward 1mH, but every surviving candidate still reports 0.0001H (0.1mH) and f_r pinned at 303.89kHz — the L lever...

    VIC design session v64: reasoning

    Lab Notebook — VIC Resonant Sweep, tight grid around 0.1mH choke This session I held the winning 0.1mH/AWG-18 choke fixed and swept turns (80→220) while pushing C elsewhere to drag...
