Oloid Calculation

Calculator and formulas for calculating an oloid


An oloid is the convex hull of a frame made by placing two linked congruent circles in perpendicular planes, so that the center of each circle lies on the edge of the other circle. The distance between the circle centers equals the radius of the circles. One third of each circle's perimeter lies inside the convex hull, so the same shape may be also formed as the convex hull of the two remaining circular arcs each spanning an angle of 4π/3.

To calculate an oloid, select the property you know and enter its value. Then click on the 'Calculate' button.

Formulas for calculating an oloid


Edge length (\(\small{a}\))

\(\displaystyle a = \frac{4}{3}\cdot π \cdot r\)

Length (\(\small{l}\))

\(\displaystyle l = 3 \cdot r\)

Height (\(\small{h}\))

\(\displaystyle h = 2 \cdot r\)

Surface (\(\small{S}\))

\(\displaystyle S = 4 \cdot π\cdot r^2\)

Volume* (\(\small{V}\))

\(\displaystyle V = 3.0524184684 \cdot r^3\)
*)The volume is calculated here by the irrational constant 3.0524184684... as an approximation.
