Gyrotropy of a metamolecule: wire on a torus

Sharing topology with numerous organic molecules, a wire helix bend into a torus gives a curious object with a gyrotropic behavior which is far from obvious. While a continuous constant current in opposite sections of the torus would create mutually cancelling contributions to its gyrotropic respons...
