Tubular Bells



The matrix shown in tubular form showing zig-zag, armchair and chiral.

I believe that Hexaflex can be used as a toroidal armature in order to hold the windings of a toroidal coil in a pre-ordained geometrically governed set of three spiral paths moving around the toroid.
One of these spirals is that of the Rodin coil.


Once the angle is chosen and set into the armature, two other winding paths are formed set at 120 degrees from the original spiral angle. I wonder what results three windings would create.

I am amazed by the potentials of hexaflex. Have you ever made a torus with hexaflex? What would the 2D pattern look like? It's fascinating that channels would be available in a hexaflex torus. Perhaps the wires could be wrapped into these "venting channels"?
