  2. Killing cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_cone

    Killing cones are used to facilitate the slaughter of poultry, normally chicken, ducks, or geese. [1] Such cones come in a number of sizes to accommodate different-sized birds. The cone functions by holding a bird in place - a captive bird can be placed head first into the funnel so that the animal's head hangs down through the small part of ...

  3. Ruled surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruled_surface

    In geometry, a surface S in 3-dimensional Euclidean space is ruled (also called a scroll) if through every point of S, there is a straight line that lies on S. Examples include the plane, the lateral surface of a cylinder or cone, a conical surface with elliptical directrix, the right conoid, the helicoid, and the tangent developable of a ...

  4. Descriptive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descriptive_geometry

    To get a true view (length in the projection is equal to length in 3D space) of one of the lines: SU in this example, projection 3 is drawn with hinge line H 2,3 parallel to S 2 U 2. To get an end view of SU, projection 4 is drawn with hinge line H 3,4 perpendicular to S 3 U 3. The perpendicular distance d gives the shortest distance between PR ...

  5. Wire-frame model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire-frame_model

    In 3D computer graphics, a wire-frame model (also spelled wireframe model) is a visual representation of a three-dimensional (3D) physical object. It is based on a polygon mesh or a volumetric mesh, created by specifying each edge of the physical object where two mathematically continuous smooth surfaces meet, or by connecting an object's constituent vertices using (straight) lines or curves.

  6. Multiview orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiview_orthographic...

    On engineering drawings, the projection is denoted by an international symbol representing a truncated cone in either first-angle or third-angle projection, as shown by the diagram on the right. The 3D interpretation is a solid truncated cone, with the small end pointing toward the viewer. The front view is, therefore, two concentric circles.

  7. Single-line diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-line_diagram

    A typical one-line diagram with annotated power flows. Red boxes represent circuit breakers, grey lines represent three-phase bus and interconnecting conductors, the orange circle represents an electric generator, the green spiral is an inductor, and the three overlapping blue circles represent a double-wound transformer with a tertiary winding.

  8. Technical illustration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_illustration

    Communication with the general public: informs the general public, for example illustrated instructions found in the manuals for automobiles and consumer electronics. This type of technical illustration contains simple terminology and symbols that can be understood by the lay person and is sometimes called creative technical illustration/graphics.

  9. Conical spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conical_spiral

    The trace (purple) of the tangents of a conical spiral with a hyperbolic spiral as floor plan. The black line is the asymptote of the hyperbolic spiral. The collection of intersection points of the tangents of a conical spiral with the --plane (plane through the cone's apex) is called its tangent trace.
