How about textured discs or something like that? :D

I think: All the particles travel more or less in elliptical curves with
the center as the one focal point. That means that the distance from a
particle to the center goes up and down all the time. The funny thing
about the inner ring of particles is that they are somehow synchronized
so that the distance goes up and down at the same time for all those
particles. :)

Very nice anim by the way!
