IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


This is more a joke than an submission. It is an idea I had two days before the
deadline.
We say lots of stupid things all along the day. One of them is "opposite poles
attract each other", or something symilar. Well, they attract each other, but
if they are actually opposite
poles, their relation last no more than two months. I have evidences. In my
opinion
are similar poles the one who attract each other.



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


I don't know how to work with UV coordinates so the result is not as good as I
expected.
For those who work with 3dsmax or have some skill with programs like Wings (as
my friend 
Roberto Ullan) this is a ten minutes job.
For me it has been a ten hours job. The simplest way I found to do it was to
join two rotational
sweeps with a piece of a torus (CGS). Then I learned about how toroidal maptypes
work. They are
totally crazy, it has been a huge chaos to make textures join. And finally I
think I didn't succeed.

The texture of the battery is a picture I made with Corel Draw and a real
battery as mannequin.

And finally a good blur.
