    I don’t know how much this definition contributes, so complicated, …..
    understanding how it came out is not easy, ….
    and on the other hand, you can achieve the same:
    with a simple sphere + helix … –interesection between those elements–
    and then a simple pipe!
    To finish apply a metal to the pipe.
    Who wants to receive such a definition? …. what does it contribute?
