Wouldn't that create two Möbius strips instead? Explanation caption for the image lists that it creates a Möbius strip with two tracks, and one non Möbius strip. In reality, this should create a two tracked Möbius strip and a separate Möbius strip. Cmdrscotty ( talk) 14:21, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

It might be interesting to say what the area of the surface swept by a rotating line segment is. I don't know the answer, but I found a reference saying what the area isn't: it isn't what you would get by trying to apply Pappus's centroid theorem. The rotation makes it sweep out a bigger area than a non-rotating segment would. See the last line of:

The link to "Umbilic torus" in the "See also" section is accompanied with a claim that the Umbilic torus can be obtained from a Möbius strip by gluing the latter along its single edge. IMHO, that statement is false, at least in regular 3D space, where the result would have to be a self-intersecting surface, assuming that the gluing is performed in the 3D space, rather than through some topological magic (sorry, I am not an expert in this field and lack the right terminology; my judgements are restricted to common sense intuition). Note that the article about the umbilic torus doesn't establish any relation of it with the Möbius strip (the link in the "See also" section doesn't count as such). I think that the misleading sentence has to be either removed or reformulated in a less confusing way and a more detailed explanation can be provided in the article about umbilic torus.
