Geometry with MicroStation Parabola with String and Pins

[@PJMarsosudiro]

I love your explanations of how (1) the string away from the pin is essentially pointed at an imaginary pin set at infinity and (2) how the "extra" string on the other side of the pin lets you draw the second half of the parabola smoothly. You don't waste a single word! That's very impressive.

Thank you! It's not often that I get comments this insightful. Felt great!

I am fond of your ability to display the manual pin and string method in such a computer graphic. 👍

These are some fascinating properties of conics that could be depicted and modelled in a physical form. It was a pleasure making these models. Feels great to see them appreciated! Thank you!

Very good, sir!

+Dan Smith Glad you liked it! I too was fascinated by this method when I came across it the first time. wishing you the best!

Quite well explained.

What is the equation of this parabola afterward?

[@UjjwalRane]

It depends on the choice of origin and orientation of the axes. They can always be selected to reduce it to the standard form say y^2 = 4ax

Thank You for making this video and sharing this knowledge. :)

[@UjjwalRane]

Always a pleasure to share a great idea/concept. And geometry is full of those! :-) Thanks for watching and writing back!
