Great video humy. Liked it very much. I remember some of that since university but it was a great review.
I also remember that we read in great detail about Salmonella. That thing has 'needles' which it builds. Penetrating the cell. If you look in a textbook you'll see that there are like 10 different needles that looks different for each specie of salmonella.
Found it on youtube 😛

The link is actually about primary cilium but scroll about half way down this link to get to the video. Personally I liked this video.

Your premise is also false: the most energy efficient motors invented by man are electric motors with the most efficient being more than 98% energy efficient and can even potentially be made to be 99.99% energy efficient with superconductors while those evolved in living things are generally less than 98% energy efficient. for example:

"....myosin (a type of a molecular motor) converts chemical energy (i.e. ATP) to mechanical work with 90 percent energy efficiency....."
-and 90% is LESS than 98%

Originally posted by humyThat was amazing!!! Bearings and a motor. I think it was interesting that it is a motor that turns the flagellum rather than some system that allowed it to waggle for locomotion. I did find myself getting hungry for squeaky cheese curds as the animation progressed to the building of the flagellum.
