Hyperbola Bar
If you take a bar and rotate it through an angle at a distance, it passes through a plane in a hyperbola. This perhaps surprising fact is demonstrated here.
The effect isn't just a curiosity; it is useful. For example, the smoothly curving cooling towers of a nuclear power plant can be constructed using straight (easily fabricated) structural members.
