May be far from perfect but it has potential. I did some
substituting and achieved some interesting results. The
code changes are listed below. They are simple changes
but illustrate what you can do with a little imagination.

#declare Ring = 

With Cylinders
merge{
cylinder{x*-.78,x*.78,mRadius}
sphere  { <-.8,0,0>,mRadius}
sphere  { < .8,0,0>,mRadius}}

With Boxes
box{-1,1 scale mRadius}

With Spheres
sphere{<0,0,0>,mRadius*2.25}

Original:
torus {mRadius, mRadius/15}

Don't forget to see the images below :)
