VIC design session v12: best candidate (Q=8.9, 99.9kHz)
Sweep: Hold choke fixed at adopted 130t/1mH anchor (no further choke sweep this session) since active lever remains capacitance/gap; tight reconfirmation grid only
Cell: 21.8mm rod in 26.8mm tube × 60mm, 1 cell(s) parallel → C_eff = 1.28nF, bulk water R = 11244Ω. Water/electrodes (Randles): 2ppm Na+ @ 25°C, surface ×1 → λ_D 53nm, C_dl 29.7µF, cell series R 139.2Ω, displacement current 89.9%, breakdown margin ×1000+. Chokes: 2 × 0.00099H (129 turns, AWG 18, 15m wire, AC R 0.6Ω each). At resonance f_r = 99.92kHz: Xl = 1243Ω, Xc = 1243Ω, tank Q = 8.9, coil Q = 1093.5. Cell voltage 106V from 12V drive (×8.9), series current 85.5mA. All constraints satisfied (current <1A, band, wire length). Score 0.270.
