  2. Van de Graaff generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_de_Graaff_generator

    Higher potentials on the sphere can also be achieved by using a voltage source to charge the belt directly, rather than relying solely on the triboelectric effect. A Van de Graaff generator terminal does not need to be sphere-shaped to work, and in fact, the optimum shape is a sphere with an inward curve around the hole where the belt enters.

  3. Lists of uniform tilings on the sphere, plane, and hyperbolic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_uniform_tilings...

    Special cases are right triangles (p q 2). Uniform solutions are constructed by a single generator point with 7 positions within the fundamental triangle, the 3 corners, along the 3 edges, and the triangle interior. All vertices exist at the generator, or a reflected copy of it. Edges exist between a generator point and its image across a mirror.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-sphere

    a 0-sphere is a pair of points ⁠ {, +} ⁠, and is the boundary of a line segment (⁠ ⁠-ball). a 1-sphere is a circle of radius ⁠ ⁠ centered at ⁠ ⁠, and is the boundary of a disk (⁠ ⁠-ball).

  5. Genus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus_(mathematics)

    Thus, a planar graph has genus 0, because it can be drawn on a sphere without self-crossing. The non-orientable genus of a graph is the minimal integer n such that the graph can be drawn without crossing itself on a sphere with n cross-caps (i.e. a non-orientable surface of (non-orientable) genus n). (This number is also called the demigenus.)

  6. Heisler chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisler_Chart

    These first Heisler–Gröber charts were based upon the first term of the exact Fourier series solution for an infinite plane wall: (,) = = [⁡ + ⁡ ⁡], [1]where T i is the initial uniform temperature of the slab, T ∞ is the constant environmental temperature imposed at the boundary, x is the location in the plane wall, λ is the root of λ * tan λ = Bi, and α is thermal diffusivity.

  7. 3-sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-sphere

    Direct projection of 3-sphere into 3D space and covered with surface grid, showing structure as stack of 3D spheres (2-spheres) In mathematics, a hypersphere or 3-sphere is a 4-dimensional analogue of a sphere, and is the 3-dimensional n-sphere. In 4-dimensional Euclidean space, it is the set of points equidistant from a fixed central point.

  8. UV mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_mapping

    In the example to the right, a sphere is given a checkered texture in two ways. On the left, without UV mapping, the sphere is carved out of three-dimensional checkers tiling Euclidean space. With UV mapping, the checkers tile the two-dimensional UV space, and points on the sphere map to this space according to their latitude and longitude.
