VIC design session v50: best candidate (Q=25.1, 303.9kHz)
Sweep: Force choke arm into 1.5-2.6mH per-choke (3.0-5.2mH total) to seat f_r in the 60-78kHz legal window against 1.37nF, confirming these rows exist and checking if in-band designs still hit the 3-6eV Td cold-chemistry window; single 0.1mH anchor for reference only.
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, 301V across 0.1mm film): regime constants-out-of-range, film Paschen 719V, 120 Td — INSIDE the 3-6 eV cold-chemistry window. Per-molecule (series micro-capacitor chain): 29.63M molecules across 8.00mm → 10.15 µV/molecule (polarization (µV band)). Chokes: 2 × 0.0001H (220 turns, AWG 18, 26m wire, AC R 0.6Ω each). At resonance f_r = 303.89kHz: Xl = 382Ω, Xc = 382Ω, tank Q = 25.1, coil Q = 322.4. Cell voltage 301V from 12V drive (×25.1), series current 787.4mA. VIOLATIONS: resonance 303.9kHz outside practical 1-100kHz band Score 0.271.
