I got inspired and made a similar effect is desmos

f(theta, t) = 0.1 max(cos(theta + t), 0)^2 sin(8 theta)

r = 1 + f(theta, t)
r = 1 - f(theta, t)
where: 0 <= theta <= 2 pi

t = 0
where: 0 <= t < 2 pi

It's not quite right though, the sin(8 theta) part needs to phase shift, but basing it off of t messes up the perfect loop.

At that point I would reach for code, which also lets you save the animation. Using something like p5.js (editor.p5js.org) you can easily draw graphics and save each frame as its own image

That is awesome.
