The Möbius strip is a non-orientable surface in 3-dimensional space. It does not have any layers, but it has an interesting topologic feature - it is 3-dimensional, but it has only one side!
You can make a möbius strip from a strip of paper: simply twist it in the middle and glue the ends together in a loop. Now you can see that it is possible to draw a line all around the strip without ever lifting the pencil.
Möbius strips are sometimes used as belts to drive machinery, because for any given length of the belt there is twice the length that wear. This makes maintenance less frequent.

What happens if you wind a wire around a mobius strip and then pass a direct current through the wire?
Nothing in particular, or at least, nothing different than if you wrapped a wire around anything else and did the same thing. Mobius strips are not magic, and it doesn't really matter (much) to the wire what shape it's in. As far as the electric current is concerned, it's the same as any other loop.
