    The Cartesian equation of a hyperboloid is:

    (x^2 + y^2)/a^2 - z^2/b^2 = 1

    With the origin set at the center of the figure, define the x direction to be left/right and the z direction up/down. The y direction is then perpendicular to the board. To obtain the equation of the cuts in the board, take y to be zero, i.e., the equation in the plane of the board.

    What results is the Cartesian equation of an hyperbola.

    x^2/a^2 - z^2/b^2 = 1

    When z = 0 , corresponding to a horizontal line through the center of the board, we have x = a, which determines the separation of the two curved lines forming the hyperpola.

    For z nonzero, we have:

    x^2 = a^2 * (1 + z^2/b^2)

    so, as z increases the separation between the +x value and the -x value becomes greater and greater thus creating the characteristic flare of the hyperbola.

    When I next hear someone speaking in Hyperboles this will be the vision in my mind.

    Watching a college majorette doing her routine on stage in a cloud of vapor under ultraviolet light while she spins up holding her baton at a certain angle makes a lasting impression of a 3 dimensional hyperbola being created in the vapor
