geometry on a roll

 

Exhibits that teach a graphical method
of solving engineering problems.

The curves created from the conic sections
are fine examples of using descriptive
geometry to visualize form.

Geometry on a Roll is a hands on experience
immersing the user in one of the definitions
of the forms.

Descriptive geometry used to create the PARABOLIC curve.

A series of orthographic views are drawn from which the parabolic auxiliary view was projected.

the HYPERBOLA

 

The curves have their focal points determined and balls are rolled to model vectors.
