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 for Q with these sub-mH chokes to converge f_r in-band and hold the 129 Td film.

Cell: 18mm rod in 34.0mm tube × 25mm, 8 cell(s) parallel → C_eff = 1.37nF, bulk water R = 10389Ω. Water/electrodes (Randles): 2ppm Na+ @ 25°C, surface ×1 → λ_D 53nm, C_dl 97.0µF, cell series R 14.1Ω, displacement current 96.5%, breakdown margin ×1000+. Vapor-film discharge (CGDE onset, 321V across 0.1mm film): regime constants-out-of-range, film Paschen 719V, 128 Td — INSIDE the 3-6 eV cold-chemistry window. Per-molecule (series micro-capacitor chain): 29.63M molecules across 8.00mm → 10.84 µV/molecule (polarization (µV band)). Chokes: 2 × 0.0001H (40 turns, AWG 18, 5m wire, AC R 0.1Ω each). At resonance f_r = 303.89kHz: Xl = 382Ω, Xc = 382Ω, tank Q = 26.8, coil Q = 1773.1. Cell voltage 321V from 12V drive (×26.8), series current 840.9mA. VIOLATIONS: resonance 303.9kHz outside practical 1-100kHz band Score 0.274.
