    VIC design session v65: best candidate (Q=26.4, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Abandon fixed-L: sweep L up (0.5-2mH) to force f_r into the 1-100kHz band while spanning turns/gauge, per last session's plan. - **Cell** — 18mm rod in 34.0mm tube × 25...

    VIC design session v66: reasoning

    This sweep did not do what I set out to do, and that's the headline. The intent was to force L up to 1.5–2mH with C_eff cut to 4 cells so f_r would drop into the audio band. Instea...

    VIC design session v67: best candidate (Q=25.1, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Fine grid at 0.1mH best for score continuity plus the 0.8-1.6mH crossing band with heavy gauge to locate where f_r drops below 100kHz while holding coil Q, without re-r...

    VIC design session v70: reasoning

    This sweep confirms something I'd half-expected: around the 0.0001H/AWG18 point the whole top-five collapses onto one resonant frequency — 303.9 kHz — because L and C_eff are effec...

    VIC design session v71: best candidate (Q=25.8, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Finer grid around adopted 0.0001H/AWG18/180t best plus a modest 0.0002-0.0005H bridge (below the already-swept 0.6mH+ bands) to test whether raising L slightly lowers f...

    VIC design session v69: best candidate (Q=25.1, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Force L to actually climb into 0.8-1.6mH heavy-gauge band (plus a finer 0.1-0.6mH bridge) to drive f_r toward 40-70kHz while watching whether coil Q survives and the 12...

    WFC design session v26: best candidate (Q=78.9, 69.8kHz)

    **Sweep** — screen-guided: live [Water purity, Temperature], refined score 0.742 - **Cell** — 18mm rod in 34.0mm tube × 25mm, 8 cell(s) parallel → C_eff = 1.53nF, bulk water R = 12...

    VIC design session v24: best candidate (Q=27.0, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Fill the untried 0.1-0.8mH per-choke gap between the 100µH self-resonant point and the already-swept 0.8mH edge, co-varying turns/gauge to map f_r down from 300kHz towa...

    VIC design session v29: reasoning

    Lab note — VIC resonant sweep, screen-guided (choke L/turns/gauge), 48 candidates. This sweep pinned the choke at 100µH each and let me walk turns and wire gauge. The honest result...

    VIC design session v35: reasoning

    Lab note — VIC resonant sweep, RANDLES-CELL + vapor-film diagnostic. The premise this session was to abandon the phantom 200nF sizing and push L up toward ~7.4mH to land f_r=50kHz...

    VIC design session v34: best candidate (Q=26.8, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Hold C_eff~200nF and sweep the untouched 0.05-0.3mH choke band — arithmetic (L=1/((2πf)^2·C)) puts f_r=50kHz at ~0.05mH for 200nF, so pair low-turn heavy gauge coils fo...

    VIC design session v38: best candidate (Q=25.2, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Bridge the untested 0.3-2mH gap between the crowned 0.1mH branch and the explored 2mH start to find buildable f_r (~90-290kHz falling toward band) that still holds ~250...

    VIC design session v42: best candidate (Q=26.0, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Fill the untested 1.5–5mH choke gap (beyond prior ≤3.3mH rungs) with thick AWG18–22 at high turn counts to push f_r under 30kHz while checking coil Q, plus a fine grid...

    VIC design session v45: reasoning

    Lab note — VIC resonant sweep, intermediate-L hunt The intent this session was to walk L up from the 0.1mH high-Q champion toward the 2.5mH drivable floor and catch the exact induc...

    VIC design session v52: best candidate (Q=24.4, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Sweep the unexplored sub-1mH per-choke region (0.2-1.0mH, 0.4-2.0mH total) between the 303.9kHz film anchor and the already-mapped 1.0mH+ gap, hunting the highest Td-pe...

    VIC design session v55: reasoning

    This sweep did not do what I set out to do, and I need to say that plainly. The intent was to walk per-choke L from the pinned 100µH up through the 0.5–3mH gap to drag f_r down int...

    VIC design session v60: best candidate (Q=26.2, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Raise per-choke L ~10x toward 1mH to drag f_r from 304kHz down into the 1-100kHz band, sweeping L as the primary lever with turns/gauge to supply the inductance realist...

    VIC design session v63: reasoning

    Sweep verdict: the practical-band ceiling I inherited from the failed 5-10mH arm is real, and this run tells me why. Every one of my top five pinned at L = 0.1mH and f_r = 303.9kHz...

    VIC design session v64: best candidate (Q=26.4, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Hold the winning 0.1mH/100-turn/AWG-18 choke and probe a tight grid around it while C is raised elsewhere to pull f_r into band — confirm coil Q and cell voltage stay o...

    VIC design session v66: best candidate (Q=26.4, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Gate f_r≤100kHz by forcing L into 1.5-2mH (with reduced C_eff from 8→4 cells) to drive resonance into the audio band, sweeping turns/gauge to recover the Q and cell vol...

    VIC design session v68: best candidate (Q=25.2, 303.9kHz)

    **Sweep** — Drag f_r under 100kHz by lifting per-choke L into the 0.8-1.6mH heavy-gauge band around the adopted AWG18/220 best, checking if coil Q survives the added wire and the 1...

    VIC design session v6: reasoning

    Lab note, 7/3/26 — VIC resonant tank sweep, 180 candidates. The sweep confirms what I'd expect from the choke-coil topology: for a fixed cell geometry (6.56nF, 17.5kΩ water leakage...

    **Sweep** — AWG20/150t and L~1mH already explored; now test heavier wire AWG18-19 at fixed 150t to see if lower coil R pushes tank Q and voltage beyond the 0.9Ω/Q64.4 baseline - **...
