Parabola Model

  • Parabola1.prt
  • Focus is 10.45 inches in Y
  • Xt= 41.82*t-20.91
  • Yt = 41.82^2/(10.45*4)
  • t = 1
  • Zt = 1

Layout Assembly (Create)

  • Video
  • Assemble in the Parabola
  • Link the outside of the curve with “Wave Geometry Linker”
  • Create a sketch of where the .750 dowels will go
