HYPERBOLIC CONICAL SPIRAL
Curve studied by Schiffner in 1882. |
Cylindrical equation: ; Cartesian parametrization: . |
The hyperbolic conical spirals are the spirals traced on a cone of revolution that can be projected on the plane perpendicular to the axis onto a hyperbolic spiral with center the vertex of the cone.
The trace of the tangent on xOy is a circle, and this property is a characterization. |
