VIC design session v111: best candidate (Q=14.9, 94.8kHz)
Sweep: Hold near the AWG18 1mH/200T champ but exploit coupled-mode L-splitting (fine grid straddling champ) crossed with a mid/low peak_v ladder to slide the 470 Td film down into the 80-250 Td CGDE band without sacrificing loaded Q, scoring the leakage-robust point.
Cell: 20mm rod in 23.0mm tube × 50mm, 1 cell(s) parallel → C_eff = 1.56nF, bulk water R = 16412Ω. Water/electrodes (Randles): 1ppm Na+ @ 25°C, surface ×0.5 → λ_D 75nm, C_dl 7.8µF, cell series R 70.4Ω, displacement current 93.8%, breakdown margin ×155. Fig-8 voltammetry (4,798,661): τ_EDL 127883.8µs (12127.5 carrier cycles to charge), Faradaic leakage at peak 50.1mA (leak score 0.65 — keep amp leakage inhibited while voltage climbs the ladder). Vapor-film discharge (CGDE onset, 596V across 0.1mm film): regime sub-breakdown, film Paschen 684V, 238 Td — INSIDE the 3-6 eV cold-chemistry window. Townsend α/γ: γ = 0.02 (electrode lever), criterion M = γ(e^{αd}−1) = 0.212 → SUB-CRITICAL, the target corner: avalanche multiplying, γ feedback still open, gas stays cold. Per-molecule (series micro-capacitor chain): 5.56M molecules across 1.50mm → 107.34 µV/molecule (polarization (µV band)). Chokes: 2 × 0.0009H (180 turns, AWG 18, 21m wire, AC R 0.8Ω each). At resonance f_r = 94.83kHz: Xl = 1073Ω, Xc = 1073Ω, tank Q = 14.9, coil Q = 691.4. Cell voltage 596V from 40V drive (×14.9). Tank current 0.56A circulating (CW upper bound — rate wire/switch for this); average input 11mA at 2% duty. No hard violations (band, wire length, dielectric). Average current is scored, not gated. Score 0.638.
