Then the equation of a paraboloid of revolution is x2 + y2 = 2pz. 1842 Penny Cycl. XXIII. 304/2 For the elliptic paraboloid, let a parabola revolve about its principal axis, and let the circular sections become ellipses. 1842 Penny Cycl. XXIII. 304/2 Let two parabolas have a common vertex, and let their planes be at right angles to one another, being turned contrary ways. Let the one parabola then move over the other, always continuing parallel to its first position, and having its vertex constantly on the other: its arc will then trace out an hyperbolic paraboloid. 1883 Analyst 10 47 The volume of a paraboloid is one-half the volume of its circumscribing cylinder. 1935 A.
