VIC design session v16: best candidate (Q=28.0, 326.8kHz)
Sweep: Push L another decade below 0.1mH with further-shortened gap C_eff to test if f_r finally lands in 40-70kHz band, keeping low-AWG high-Q coil family
Cell: 9mm rod in 13.0mm tube × 100mm, 1 cell(s) parallel → C_eff = 1.19nF, bulk water R = 12014Ω. Water/electrodes (Randles): 2ppm Na+ @ 25°C, surface ×1 → λ_D 53nm, C_dl 21.9µF, cell series R 14.1Ω, displacement current 96.7%, breakdown margin ×356. Chokes: 2 × 0.0001H (30 turns, AWG 20, 4m wire, AC R 0.3Ω each). At resonance f_r = 326.82kHz: Xl = 411Ω, Xc = 411Ω, tank Q = 28.0, coil Q = 669.6. Cell voltage 336V from 12V drive (×28.0), series current 818.0mA. VIOLATIONS: resonance 326.8kHz outside practical 1-100kHz band Score 0.294.
