Plücker's conoid is a geometric surface that arises in the study of differential geometry and mathematical surfaces. It is named after the German mathematician Julius Plücker, who explored various geometric properties in the 19th century. The Plücker's conoid is defined in the context of a curve in three-dimensional space. Specifically, it can be generated by taking a curve in the plane and rotating it around a line (called the axis of rotation) that lies in the same plane.
