  2. Nose cone design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design

    General parameters used for constructing nose cone profiles. Given the problem of the aerodynamic design of the nose cone section of any vehicle or body meant to travel through a compressible fluid medium (such as a rocket or aircraft, missile, shell or bullet), an important problem is the determination of the nose cone geometrical shape for optimum performance.

  3. Cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone

    In the case of lines, the cone extends infinitely far in both directions from the apex, in which case it is sometimes called a double cone. Either half of a double cone on one side of the apex is called a nappe. The axis of a cone is the straight line passing through the apex about which the base (and the whole cone) has a circular symmetry.

  4. Conical spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conical_spiral

    Conical spiral with an archimedean spiral as floor projection Floor projection: Fermat's spiral Floor projection: logarithmic spiral Floor projection: hyperbolic spiral. In mathematics, a conical spiral, also known as a conical helix, [1] is a space curve on a right circular cone, whose floor projection is a plane spiral.

  5. Cross section (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_(geometry)

    Colored regions are cross-sections of the solid cone. Their boundaries (in black) are the named plane sections. A cross section of a polyhedron is a polygon. The conic sections – circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas – are plane sections of a cone with the cutting planes at various different angles, as seen in the diagram at left.

  6. Solid angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

    The external surface area A of the cap equals r2 only if solid angle of the cone is exactly 1 steradian. Hence, in this figure θ = A/2 and r = 1. The solid angle of a cone with its apex at the apex of the solid angle, and with apex angle 2 θ, is the area of a spherical cap on a unit sphere

  7. Bevel gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bevel_gear

    The pitch surface of bevel gears is a cone, known as a pitch cone. Bevel gears change the axis of rotation of rotational power delivery and are widely used in mechanical settings. Bevel gear on roller shutter door. Regardless of the operating angle, the gear axes must intersect (at a point O) Bevel gear lifts floodgate by means of central screw.

    The groom disagreed with his wife, countering that his friend was "just joking." "But I don’t find anything funny about that," the bride insisted.

  9. Conic section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

    A conic is the curve obtained as the intersection of a plane, called the cutting plane, with the surface of a double cone (a cone with two nappes).It is usually assumed that the cone is a right circular cone for the purpose of easy description, but this is not required; any double cone with some circular cross-section will suffice.
