Boost MeIf you like this model please consider a boost. Thank you <3Update 2024.12.27: About efficiencyI made a small change to the model. The efficiency on the label changedFrom “100%” to “~100%” The efficiency of this kind of motor varies depending on many factors like bacteria type, torque, rotation speed, flaggelum length, etc.So the stated efficiency is not permanent around 100% but only under certain conditions.
