Very cool but the higher order animals have nothing on Prokaryotic bacteria flagellum which fully spin like the propeller of an outboard motor.

Prokaryotic flagella run in a rotary movement, while eukaryotic flagella run in a bending movement. The prokaryotic flagella use a rotary motor, and the eukaryotic flagella use a complex sliding filament system. Eukaryotic flagella are ATP-driven, while prokaryotic flagella can be ATP-driven (Archaea) or proton-driven (Bacteria).

Here is a close-up of the fully rotating flagellum (it even has ring seals and stators) :

On top of that, Redneck, the motor works via electromagnetics, EXACTLY the same as a the motors we’re used to.

Better yet, dinoflagellum spin at 100,000 rpm, but can stop cold in a quarter revolution and instantaneously spin the opposite direction at full speed.
