  11. This reminds me...in grad school (~2013), I came across research about bacteria locomotion, and the bacteria have multiple flagella that form a bundle that twists together.

    That was so confusing to me. I imagined them all twisted together, and then each flagellum trying to twist from its own motor. It seems like there would be a jam.

    Now I came across two papers that help make sense of it. In both papers they created a scale model of how bacteria flagellum bundle. It seems that the multiple flagella rotate next to each other but do not actually tangle bu.edu/fluidlab/files/2016/01/ The second paper helped me to see it better. The helixes of the flagella line up and are in phase, so they effectively get out of each others way as they rotate. In the scale models it did jam if they were driven to hard, which meshed with my intuition. pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas

    The younger flagellum sets the beat for #Chlamydomonas reinhardtii elifesciences.org/articles/861

    "To steer, C. reinhardtii adjusts the strength of the strokes made by each flagellum. Despite this asymmetry, the flagella must continue to beat in synchrony to move efficiently."

    "In a manual gearbox, a gearwheel is inserted between the countershaft and the drive shaft. This reverses the rotation. #Flagella of E. coli, Salmonella #bacteria have found a smart solution to do without an additional wheel: they run their engine along the outside of a gearwheel or, if they reverse the direction of rotation, on its inside"
