VIC design session v8: best candidate (Q=64.4, 98.3kHz)
Sweep: Hold L at 1mH, sweep AWG20-22 for lower coil R to test if tank Q exceeds 62 while current stays under 1A limit
Cell: 15.9mm rod in 22.3mm tube × 101.6mm, 1 cell(s) parallel → C = 1.31nF, water R = 87585Ω. Chokes: 2 × 0.001H (150 turns, AWG 20, 18m wire, AC R 0.9Ω each). At resonance f_r = 98.33kHz: Xl = 1236Ω, Xc = 1236Ω, tank Q = 64.4, coil Q = 703.8. Cell voltage 773V from 12V drive (×64.4), series current 625.6mA. All constraints satisfied (current <1A, band, wire length). Score 0.715.
