Parabola Study
thingiverse
A parabolic dish and trough, derived from the conic section model, have applications in solar collector design. They can be found on Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:182820) and Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_reflector, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_trough). As part of a teaching set, these are accompanied by an ellipse study on Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:183683) and an upcoming hyperbola study.
