hyperbolic shaped building too. Ever seen Three Mile Island or some
other nuclear power plant?
Those buildings are actually water
cooling towers.
The hyperbolic shape helps the tower
do its job more efficiently.
But, here's the really wild thing
about the hyperbola -- Its reflective properties!
Check out the groovy geometry on
this thing -- especially what is going on with that left focus:
Whoa. Duuuuuuuuuuuude!
