here's a video that shows a machine at Berkeley lab that makes a high-performance magnet wire, not sure if it's related to this project but still pretty interesting to see how complex just the wire is- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmmNRaKpBTI&t=2138s

"It looks a bit Rube Goldberg esque coming out the back"

Yes it does indeed. Amazing amount of trial and error to build such a machine.

Well, Goldberg was an engineer and supposedly did construct his drawings to be 'technically' feasible.
