	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. 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 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.
		Hyperboloids are seen in the manmade world in the form of cooling towers at power stations and, most strikingly, in the shape of the McDonnell Planetarium in St. Louis, Missouri (shown above).

	The Hyperboloid
		The hyperboloid is a well-known quadratic surface that comes in two varieties: the hyperboloid of one sheet (above) and the hyperboloid of two sheets (below).
		It is interesting to note that the hyperboloid of one sheet is asymptotic to a cone, as shown below.
		The hyperboloid of one sheet is also a ruled surface.

	Index: Quadratic Surfaces (1-14)
		A quadratic (or quadric) surface is a surface in three-space defined by an equation of degree two.
		Thus it is the three-dimensional analog of a conic section, which is a curve in two-space defined by an equation of degree two.
		A hyperbola gives rise to different surfaces of revolution, depending on whether it is revolved about the conjugate axis (which passes between the two branches of the hyperbola) or the transverse axis (which crosses the two branches).

	IGQS: Hyperboloid of One Sheet
		The hyperboloid of one sheet is possibly the most complicated of all the quadric surfaces.

		Like the hyperboloid of one sheet, the traces in certain planes are hyperbolas that change orientation after a point.
		Given a real-valued function of two real variables, one way to understand the nature of its surface is to make a contour map, a plot in the plane of various level curves.
		whose level surface, f (x, y, z) = k, is a hyperboloid of two sheets when k < 0, a hyperboloid of one sheet when k > 0, and an elliptic cone when k = 0.

		Thus, we suspect that this surface is be a hyperboloid of two sheets.
		(All variables positive would have given an ellipsoid; only one negative would be a hyperboloid of one sheet.) Since x is the positive variable, the hyperboloid will be symmetric with respect to the x-axis (i.e., it will "lie along" the x-axis).
		Since two kinds of traces are hyperbolas and one kind is circles, we know that we have a hyperboloid of two sheets -- just as we thought when we examined the equation.

		An elliptic hyperboloid is a solid or surface, some of whose plane sections are hyperbolas, while others are ellipses.
		If no elliptical cross-section goes around the conjugate axis of any hyperbolic cross-section, the hyperboloid has two sheets.
		The other sheet would be an inverted model placed symmetrically above this one.

	Common Transversals and Tangents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Our approach is to fix two (skew) lines and a quadric, and then describe the common transversals and tangents in this case.
		For example, the picture on the right shows the same sphere, common transversals and tangents, and red line, and it shows a hyperboloid of two sheets tangent to every one of the common transversals and tangent to the sphere.
		Briefly, fixing the two lines and the first quadric, the space of second quadrics for which there are infinitely many common transversals and tangents is a curve in the P
