This is the one that powers the bacterial flagellum (their is another one that powers ATP synthase in all cells):

Damn we gonna get some kind of Rotary powered super monster or terminator someday? lol

 

What is this used for? Or am I missing something...is it real? Is it natural or man-made?!

 

^^Flagella are basically the "legs" of the cell, iirc. It has been so long since biology.

 

I mean, I know what a flagellum is, I'm just wondering if the one described in those videos is man-made, or a natural occurrence? And if it is man made, how? And what is it used for?

birth control of the future? ha

My girlfriend said rotaries are unreliable. So I knocked her up with my sequential twin turbo 13seed. That'll show her.
