design note · VIC · · added 1 month ago
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...

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...
design note · VIC · · added 1 month ago
This sweep taught me something uncomfortable: at 0.1mH the whole top-five collapses onto a single resonant point, f_r = 303.9kHz, and every one of them violates my practical 1-100k...
design note · VIC · · added 1 month ago
The sweep didn't do what I aimed it to. My intent was to lift per-choke L into the 0.8–1.6mH heavy-gauge band to drag f_r under 100kHz, but every reported candidate still sits at L...
