Plücker surface
In algebraic geometry, a Plücker surface, studied by Julius Plücker (1899), is a quartic surface in 3-dimensional projective space with a double line and 8 nodes.
Construction
For any quadric line complex, the lines of the complex in a plane envelop a quadric in the plane. A Plücker surface depends on the choice of a quadric line complex and a line, and consists of points of the quadrics associated to the planes through the chosen line.[1]
gollark: Why not solar thermal?
gollark: The batteries should be made to explode on impact then.
gollark: Are there *any downsides*?
gollark: Plus, the recoil propels you forward!
gollark: Oh, solution: mount a railgun on your electric bike with its own low-capacity batteries, so when your motor's batteries are exhausted you can load them into the railgun (with the motor itself) and fire it to dispose of them.
