2Paraboloid — of revolution In mathematics, a paraboloid is a quadric surface of special kind. There are two kinds of paraboloids: elliptic and hyperbolic. The elliptic paraboloid is shaped like an oval cup and can have a maximum or minimum point. In a… …
3paraboloid — paraboloidal /peuh rab euh loyd l, par euh beuh /, adj. /peuh rab euh loyd /, n. Geom. a surface that can be put into a position such that its sections parallel to at least one coordinate plane are parabolas. Cf. elliptic paraboloid, hyperbolic… …
4paraboloid — noun A surface having a parabolic cross section parallel to an axis, and circular or elliptical cross section perpendicular to the axis; especially the surface of revolution of a parabola …
5Parabolic reflector — Parallel waves coming in to a parabolic mirror are focused at a point F A parabolic reflector (or dish or mirror) is a reflective device used to collect or project energy such as light, sound, or radio waves. Its shape is that of a circular… …
6Fan-beam antenna — A fan beam antenna is a directional antenna producing a main beam having a narrow beamwidth in one dimension and a wider beamwidth in the other dimension. This pattern will be achieved by a truncated paraboloid reflector or a circular paraboloid… …
7Bucket argument — Isaac Newton s rotating bucket argument (also known as Newton s bucket ) was designed to demonstrate that true rotational motion cannot be defined as the relative rotation of the body with respect to the immediately surrounding bodies. It is one… …
8Liquid mirror — Liquid mirrors are mirrors made with reflective liquids. The most common liquid used is mercury, but other liquids will work as well (for example, low melting alloys of gallium). Liquid mirrors can be a low cost alternative to conventional large… …
9Archimedes Palimpsest — The Archimedes Palimpsest is a palimpsest on parchment in the form of a codex which originally was a copy of an otherwise unknown work of the ancient mathematician, physicist, and engineer Archimedes of Syracuse and other authors. Archimedes… …
10Center of mass — In physics, the center of mass of a system of particles is a specific point at which, for many purposes, the system s mass behaves as if it were concentrated. The center of mass is a function only of the positions and masses of the particles that …
