I thought I should post a pic of the device complete. Taken just before I turned it on and the coil broke.
I think heatshrink should be fine for now as far as keeping the coils together goes. Later when I get back from my trip I will redo them completely.
In the picture of the coils and shaft, the first coil is bottom left. The wires are fairly stiff so they didn't move around much, which was good. I thought aluminium tape (100mph tape for those in the airlines) would be strong enough to hold the coils together, but I guess not.
Cheers.
