ohh
ok
wait
please give
ha
i got it
an example of mobius strip can be created by
taking a paper strip and giving it a half -twist, and then joining the ends of the strip to form a loop
thats all

The universal recycling symbol is a Möbius band! This Möbius band has three half twists and can be better seen if you imagine that the tip of each of the three arrows is connected to the tail of the preceding one. Follow the surface of the object and you will find that it is indeed a Möbius band!
The design for the universal recycling symbol was created in 1970. In light of increasing awareness of humankind's impact on the environment, the Container Corporation of America sponsored a contest challenging high-school and college students to create an artwork that conveyed the process of recycling (Jones et al). 23 year-old college student Gary Anderson submitted a drawing of a three-twist Möbius strip composed of three arrows that is now the universal symbol of recycling (Ibid)! Anderson won a $2,500 scholarship for his design (Ibid).
The Möbius band has several other intriguing applications:
In 1957, the B. F. Goodrich Company patented the design for a conveyor belt in the configuration of a Möbius band (Fauvel et al, 15). This conveyor belt had the advantage over normal conveyor belts of spreading the wear on the belt over the entirety of its single side (Ibid). Normal conveyor belts distribute their wear over one of two sides. The Möbius conveyor belt thus lasted longer than a conventional conveyor belt.
In 1949, an abrasive belt in the shape of a Möbius band was designed (Fauvel et al, 15). Like the Möbius conveyor belt, the Möbius abrasive belt had the advantage over conventional abrasive belts in that the wear would be distributed over the entirety of the single side, rather than over only one of two sides.
In 1920, a man named Lee de Forest designed an 'endless sound record' in the shape of a Möbius strip (Fauvel et al, 15).
In the realm of chemistry, a Möbius band configuration has been observed in molecular structures.
