Extruded Flat Plane Through a Tube Torus: Crop Circle Geometry Reconstruction

Rev. Daniel Elis Axelrod created a dataset documenting the geometric reconstruction of a crop circle. The project involved mapping the crop circle's size and shape, estimating its area, and reconstructing it using circles and straight lines to derive extrusion volume and surface area. The dataset includes multiple file formats and was last updated on 2026-05-12.

Use Cases

• Practice algebraic problem-solving based on the described use of torus section formulas and cos(arcsin).
• Study geometric reconstruction techniques based on the process of mapping and tracing a shape using circles and straight lines.
• Explore educational self-tutoring methods based on the described approach of using crop circles for algebra practice.

Strengths

• Dataset is 59.0 MB in size, indicating a substantial collection of files.
• Includes multiple file formats (TXT, DXF, STL, PNG, SVG, FCSTD), suggesting diverse representations of the work.
• Released under the permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description focuses on a single, specific project methodology, which may limit generalizability.
