Femisphere

Short description: Shape
Femisphere

The femisphere is a solid that has one single surface, two edges, and four vertices.

Description

The form of the femisphere is reminiscent of that of a sphericon but without straight lines. Instead of that, it has circular arcs of arbitrary radius. For this reason, when rolled over a sphere, it contacts the whole surface area of it in a single revolution.[1][failed verification]

The area of a femisphere of unit radius is [math]\displaystyle{ S = 4 \pi }[/math].

Wooden femispheres can be made by turning them on a wood lathe.
