A Non-Orientable Surface

The Mobius ring is a twisted cylinder with the ends connected. Some people have them dangling over their baby’s cribs as a way to calm the child. And why not? The movements are mesmerizing and did we mention, useful? Conveyor belts at airports and sushi restaurants are engineered from the Mobius strip. That single twist makes it so that all the surfaces of the belt wear out at the same time. Pretty brilliant, right? You can purchase this simple, yet elegant Mobius ring for yourself. It also makes a great gift for conveyor belt operators, engineers, mathematicians, and world travelers.
