I never knew there was a specific name for a triple spiral! The authors should have used this instead of 'tumbleweed'.

I was curious about the speed of the motor so I asked AI to do some calculations. The step length is about 15 nm and the authors suggest a speed of 10-20 nm is achievable. If you normalize that speed to "body length" it's about 2X faster than a human's walking speed. Not bad.
