Someone wrote "fish have never grown propellers". But some bacteria have. I
read that bacterial flagella are a rigid spiral that can rotate in its seating
in the bacterium's casing. That would then be a very tiny but genuine
biological rotary motor. (Distinguish from ordinary eukaryote cilia and
flagella, which are whips that can undulate like an eel's tail.)
