The outcome of this particular experiment is not very original, I know, but the technique enables me to generate this along with variations in seconds.
Its made in Cinema 4D by exploding three sets of simple lines (in this case from typography outline vector of a letter 'B') and lathe rotating the through 360 degrees. There are plenty of variables involved that can be easily adjusted to change the result (eg. the explosion speed)
The fact that makes the resulting image interesting (to me) is the way the light falls on the rings. Some are lit right to left and others visa versa. This is because the exploded line fragments are rotating perpendicular to the image plane so some of the resulting rings are concave and others are convex. The colour variations are a result of this effect also.
