About
A toroid is a ring-shaped geometric surface formed by rotating a shape around an axis outside of it.
Because a toroid is an abstract mathematical shape, real-world examples range from microscopic magnetic cores to massive fusion reactor chambers. When the revolved shape is a circle, it forms a specific type of toroid known as a torus, which looks like a common donut. Revolving a square or rectangle instead yields a flat-sided ring with distinct edges. Its total volume varies widely based on both the diameter of the central hole and the thickness of the ring.
From Wikipedia
In mathematics, a toroid is a surface of revolution with a hole in the middle. The axis of revolution passes through the hole and so does not intersect the surface.
