Skewer HyperboleHow can straight skewers curve? Find out.
Build a hyperboloid with skewers and rubberbands. It will naturally form a curve and fall into a circular cross-section. Write an instructional technical guide to help others make this project. More: http://www.georgehart.com/skewers/skewer-hyperboloid.html This hyperboloid has n=16 and 11 rows of rubber bands. So there are 32 skewers and 176 rubber bands.

Dilation - Geometry + transformationDilation is a very useful transformation for creating the appearance of hearts that are growing larger. Dilation changes the overall size of a shape, without changing the angles or relative sizes (ratios) of lines or curves that make up the shape. In other words, dilation resizes a shape so that it still looks like the original, just larger or smaller.
