Introduction
There are many ways to construct a parabolic dish. This method aims to be the simplest and most quickly adjustable one. This method does not need the input of a mathematician or any high technology people. So I call it the mechanical mathematician. I have made several paraboloids with this. I made them as proof of concept.
It works but I do not know how precise it can be.
To make bullets use the asterix:
- Like this
- and two for the next indent
- and back to one...
- Similarly, numbered bullets are like this
- and multi-leveled like this
This is a level one heading
This is italic text.
This is a level two heading (etc)
This is bold text.
- This is indented text. Click Show preview, to see what this looks like.
