The extended oloid and its inscribed quadrics
Abstract
The oloid is the convex hull of two circles with equal radius in perpendicular planes so that the center of each circle lies on the other circle. It is part of a developable surface which we call extended oloid. We determine the tangential system of all inscribed quadrics of the extended oloid where is the system parameter. From this result we conclude parameter equations of the touching curve between and , the edge of regression of , and the asymptotes of . Properties of the touching curves are investigated, including the case that . The self-polar tetrahedron of the tangential system is obtained. The common generating lines of and any ruled surface are determined. Furthermore, we derive the curves which are the images of and when is developed onto the plane.
