Hyperboloid of Revolution

How is a Hyperboloid of Revolution shape generated? Method 2

The shape is generated by revolving a straight line (Generator) around another non parallel, non intersecting line as its axis. These lines are skew lines
Red Line represents the Generator Line Black Line represents the Axis
