My husband is quite the Numberphile, and often watches videos relating to maths.In one of these videos, Professor John Hunton showed his own made Borromean rings.
These are three rings linked together in such a way that if you would take one out, the remaining two rings would be seperate. Each one goes outside one ring, and inside the other. I thought it would be a nice simple soldering exercise and also a nice surprise gift for my husband.
As always, if you think it's simple, it usually isn't... I made the mistake to make three perfectly round rings - one with a little gap of course, to assemble them - before i realised i would never be able to get three perfect circles in a Borromean configuration! All three need to be slightly elliptical for them to fit.
To assemble the rings, i made two rings somewhat elliptical, then the third ring was fiddled into place and was soldered to complete the ring. The final step was to use a tapered mandrel to get all rings as round as possible.
More rings can be found here.
