Abstract

In this paper, the very fundamental geometrical characteristics of the Mylar balloon like the profile curve, height, volume, arclength, surface area, crimping factor, etc. are recognized as geometrical moments In(x) and In and this observation has been used to introduce an infinite family of surfaces Sn specified by the natural numbers n=0,1,2,…. These surfaces are presented via explicit formulas (through the incomplete Euler’s beta function) and can be identified as an interesting family of balloons. Their parameterizations is achieved relying on the well-known relationships among elliptic integrals, beta and gamma functions. The final results are expressed via the fundamental mathematical constants, such as π and the lemniscate constant ϖ. Quite interesting formulas for recursive calculations of various quantities related to associated figures modulo four are derived. The most principal results are summarized in a table, illustrated via a few graphics, and some direct relationships with other fundamental areas in mathematics, physics, and geometry are pointed out.
