Traces and transformations
I wish there was more talk about the traces and transformations that go along with different equations of hyperboloids. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.228.95.189 (talk) 23:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Transverse Axis
From the article
 * A hyperboloid of revolution of one sheet can be obtained by revolving a hyperbola around its transverse axis.

when searching for def of transverse axis the first three definitions give
 * The line segment that contains the center and whose endpoints are the two vertices of a hyperbola..

Now if we rotate around this axis we get the two sheet hyperboloid. Something seems awry. --Salix alba (talk) 15:08, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Generators of a one-sheeted hyperboloid
I have found dozens of assertions online and in journals that a one-sheeted hyperboloid may be generated by three pairwise skew lines, but so far no direct way to do this. There is no mention of generators of a general one-sheeted hyperboloid on this page, nor the mechanicsm of generating a hyperboloid in this way. Perhaps someone can produce this mechanism, and update the page? See for reference: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Hyperboloid.html Memethief (talk) 18:03, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
