This is a wheel.
</p><p>
Each successive image in the movie is rotated by a small amount
compared to the previous image.
</p><p>
As the wheel rotates,
the coordinates
(<i>x</i>,&nbsp;<i>y</i>)
of a point on the wheel relative to its centre change,
but the distance <i>r</i> between the point and the centre
remains constant
<!--

<table align="center" cellpadding=3><tr valign=middle><td align="center" nowrap>-->
</p><p align="center">
<i>r</i><sup>2</sup> =
<i>x</i><sup>2</sup>&nbsp;+&nbsp;<i>y</i><sup>2</sup>
= constant&nbsp;.
<!--
</td></tr></table>-->
</p><p>
More generally,
the coordinates
(<i>x</i>,&nbsp;<i>y</i>,&nbsp;<i>z</i>)
of the interval between any two points in 3-dimensional space (a vector)
change when the coordinate system is rotated in 3 dimensions,
but the separation <i>r</i> of the two points remains constant
<!--

</p><p align="center">
<i>r</i><sup>2</sup> =
<i>x</i><sup>2</sup>&nbsp;+&nbsp;<i>y</i><sup>2</sup>&nbsp;+&nbsp;<i>z</i><sup>2</sup>
