I got impassioned by the huge sculpture that adorned the caldron on the 2016
Oplympic Games oppening here in Rio de Janeiro. The spiraled movements
bewitched me. The reflections on the metalic surfaces had dramatic effect. I
could not resist to model and animate it.

The apparent intricacy of the movements is in fact very simple but
ingenuous. The sculpture was made by the american artist Antony Howe. There
are many videos on the  sculpture in Youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lyx1u_94cN0  . Enjoy it!

Interestingly, if we connect all moving Sun disk positions at a given time,
we get two interwoven T(2,1) torus knot!
