VIC design session v74: best candidate (Q=25.9, 303.9kHz)
Sweep: With C_eff pinned, push f_r from ~300kHz toward 40-70kHz by raising choke L ~20-25x (0.0001→0.0025H) while sampling turns/AWG for Q — the only band-legal knob left this session.
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, 311V across 0.1mm film): regime constants-out-of-range, film Paschen 719V, 124 Td — INSIDE the 3-6 eV cold-chemistry window. Per-molecule (series micro-capacitor chain): 29.63M molecules across 8.00mm → 10.48 µV/molecule (polarization (µV band)). Chokes: 2 × 0.0001H (130 turns, AWG 18, 16m wire, AC R 0.3Ω each). At resonance f_r = 303.89kHz: Xl = 382Ω, Xc = 382Ω, tank Q = 25.9, coil Q = 545.6. Cell voltage 311V from 12V drive (×25.9), series current 813.2mA. VIOLATIONS: resonance 303.9kHz outside practical 1-100kHz band Score 0.273.
