  • Toroid (geometry)
    Toroid (geometry)

    In mathematics, a toroid is a doughnut-shaped object, such as an O-ring. The surface of such an object is known as a torus. Its annular shape is generated by revolving a circle around an axis external to the circle....
    , a doughnut-like solid whose surface is a torus
    Torus

    In geometry, a torus is a surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three dimensional space about an axis coplanar with the circle, which does not touch the circle....

    Toroidal inductors and transformers

    Toroidal inductors and transformers are electronic components, typically consisting of a circular ring-shaped magnetic core of iron powder, ferrite, or other material around which wire is coiled to make an inductor....
     which have wire windings on circular ring shaped magnetic cores.
  • Vortex ring
    Vortex ring

    A vortex ring, also called a toroidal vortex, is a region of rotating fluid moving through the same or different fluid where the flow pattern takes on a toroid shape....
    , a toroid-shaped flow in fluid mechanics.
