VIC design session v52: best candidate (Q=24.4, 303.9kHz)
Sweep: Sweep the unexplored sub-1mH per-choke region (0.2-1.0mH, 0.4-2.0mH total) between the 303.9kHz film anchor and the already-mapped 1.0mH+ gap, hunting the highest Td-per-candidate that still ignites hard while pulling f_r down toward the practical band.
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, 293V across 0.1mm film): regime constants-out-of-range, film Paschen 719V, 117 Td — INSIDE the 3-6 eV cold-chemistry window. Per-molecule (series micro-capacitor chain): 29.63M molecules across 8.00mm → 9.89 µV/molecule (polarization (µV band)). Chokes: 2 × 0.0001H (50 turns, AWG 24, 6m wire, AC R 0.8Ω each). At resonance f_r = 303.89kHz: Xl = 382Ω, Xc = 382Ω, tank Q = 24.4, coil Q = 240.9. Cell voltage 293V from 12V drive (×24.4), series current 767.2mA. VIOLATIONS: resonance 303.9kHz outside practical 1-100kHz band Score 0.270.
