Note: This method works even when length of AB is not equal to k.
This model is for solving the mean proportional equation:
2k / y = y / x = x / k
or x3 = 2 k3 and y3 = 4 k3
******** modified_Nicomedes_desc.dwg *******
There are 2 ways to accomplish this : Using Conchoid curve and marked ruler.
You can see the process in animation.
******** mod_Nicomedes_1.dwg *******
To create this drawing and animation:
Load modified_Nicomedes_Delian.lsp (load "modified_Nicomedes_Delian")
Then from command line, type test_0
You can see the process in animation.
******** mod_Nicomedes_2.dwg *******
To create this drawing and animation:
Load modified_Nicomedes_Delian.lsp (load "modified_Nicomedes_Delian")
Then from command line, type mod_Nicomedes
To create animation, run make_wmf to output 12 wmf(0 - 11).
Then convert them into animation GIF file format.
