VIC design session v45: best candidate (Q=26.4, 303.9kHz)

Sweep: Sweep intermediate inductances between the 0.1mH high-Q champion and the 2.5mH drivable floor, with high-Q fat few-turn windings, to locate the exact L where f_r crosses under 100kHz while ~120Td film still lights in the CGDE window.

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, 316V across 0.1mm film): regime constants-out-of-range, film Paschen 719V, 126 Td — INSIDE the 3-6 eV cold-chemistry window. Per-molecule (series micro-capacitor chain): 29.63M molecules across 8.00mm → 10.68 µV/molecule (polarization (µV band)). Chokes: 2 × 0.0001H (80 turns, AWG 18, 10m wire, AC R 0.2Ω each). At resonance f_r = 303.89kHz: Xl = 382Ω, Xc = 382Ω, tank Q = 26.4, coil Q = 886.6. Cell voltage 316V from 12V drive (×26.4), series current 828.4mA. VIOLATIONS: resonance 303.9kHz outside practical 1-100kHz band Score 0.273.
