Duocylinder

The duocylinder, also called the double cylinder or the bidisc, is a geometric object embedded in 4-dimensional Euclidean space, defined as the Cartesian product of two disks of respective radii r₁ and r₂:

${\displaystyle D=\left\{(x,y,z,w)\,\left|\,x^{2}+y^{2}\leq r_{1}^{2},\ z^{2}+w^{2}\leq r_{2}^{2}\right.\right\}}$

It is similar to a cylinder in 3-space, which is the Cartesian product of a disk with a line segment. But unlike the cylinder, both hypersurfaces (of a regular duocylinder) are congruent.

Its dual is a duospindle, constructed from two circles, one in the xy-plane and the other in the zw-plane.
