 Hyperboloid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alternatively, a hyperboloid of two sheets of axis AB is obtained as the set of points P such that AP−BP is a constant, AP being the distance between A and P. Points A and B are then called the foci of the hyperboloid.
A hyperboloid of two sheets can be obtained by revolving a hyperbola around its focal axis.
A hyperboloid of one sheet is a doubly ruled surface; if it is a hyperboloid of revolution, it can also be obtained by revolving a line about a skew line.

 hyperboloid
A quadratic surface of which there are two basic forms: a hyperboloid of one sheet, generated by spinning a hyperbola around its conjugate axis, and a hyperboloid of two sheets produced by rotating a hyperbola about its transverse axis.
This fact enables a close approximation to a hyperboloid to be made in the form of a string model.

 Index: Ruled Surfaces
Some quadratic surfaces are ruled: hyperboloids of one sheet, hyperbolic paraboloids, and quadratic cones and cylinders.
A general way to form a ruled surface is to take three curves in space, and move a straight line so that it intersects all three curves at all times.
This procedure, applied to the three lines in one of the rulings of a hyperboloid of one sheet or a hyperbolic paraboloid, will give the other ruling.
