Start with the cone generated by revolving a equilateral triangle about a median. Take three such cones. Arrange them so their points form the vertices of a equilateral triangle and their bases intersect in a line normal to this equilateral triangle. Does the resulting solid have 3 vertices or 5? If the triangle used to generate each cone has edge length 1, what is the edge length of the triangle formed by the points of the cones? I suspect it might be 1.5 as their bases have dihedral angles of 60 degrees, so their diameters in the plane of the large triangle form the long diagonals of a hexagon, implying an overlap equal to the radius of the cone bases. An infinite family can be formed by n cones formed by revolving isosceles triangles with an unequal angle equal to the internal angle of a regular n-gon... however, my suspicion is that 4 90-degree cones would have bases that reach a neighbor's apex, and that 5 or more would leave central gaps... Take the bicone formed by revolving a square about a diagonal. What do you get by intersecting two whose axes are at 90-degrees? 3 bicones? 4 or more with non-orthogonal axes? What does the family of solids formed by revolving regular n-gons and regular star polygons about all of their lines of symmetry and taking the intersection? Is their any pattern to the shapes?
