I have pondered the same idea myself.  I have a few rolls of #27 wire
that
seems small for coiling.  But I thought that if I wound two wires
together
it would it should work well.  Possiblely with a third wire wound on top
of
the first two.  Or even a second pair of wires on top of the first for a
quad-wound coil.  It's seems that this would be similar to the Litz wire
that I have often heard works well for coiling. It should help to cut
down
on the eddy-currents in the secondary's windings.  Better Q?

Anyone know how to calculate the self-capacitance and inductance for a
coil
of this type?
