Torricelli's Trumpet : ウィキペディア英語版
Gabriel's Horn

Gabriel's Horn (also called Torricelli's trumpet) is a geometric figure which has infinite surface area but finite volume. The name refers to the tradition identifying the Archangel Gabriel as the angel who blows the horn to announce Judgment Day, associating the divine, or infinite, with the finite. The properties of this figure were first studied by Italian physicist and mathematician Evangelista Torricelli in the 17th century.
==Mathematical definition==

Gabriel's horn is formed by taking the graph of x \mapsto \frac , with the domain x \ge 1 (thus avoiding the asymptote at ''x'' = 0) and rotating it in three dimensions about the x-axis. The discovery was made using Cavalieri's principle before the invention of calculus, but today calculus can be used to calculate the volume and surface area of the horn between ''x'' = 1 and ''x'' = ''a'', where ''a'' > 1. Using integration (see Solid of revolution and Surface of revolution for details), it is possible to find the volume V and the surface area A:
:V = \pi \int_^ \left( \right)^2\, \mathrmx = \pi \left( 1 - \right)
:A = 2\pi \int_^ \sqrt\,\mathrmx > 2\pi \int_^ \,\mathrmx = 2\pi \ln a.
a can be as large as required, but it can be seen from the equation that the volume of the part of the horn between x = 1 and x = a will never exceed \pi; however, it ''will'' get closer and closer to ''\pi'' as a becomes larger. Mathematically, the volume ''approaches ''\pi'' as a approaches infinity''. Using the limit notation of calculus:
:\lim_V = \lim_\pi \left( 1 - \right) = \pi.
The surface area formula above gives a lower bound for the area as 2\pi times the natural logarithm of a. There is no upper bound for the natural logarithm of a as a approaches infinity. That means, in this case, that the horn has an infinite surface area. That is to say;
:\lim_A \ge \lim_2 \pi \ln a = \infty.
