    You should look at mitochondria:

    • The power plant of the cell.
    • Runs on a proton-gradient.
    • ATP synthase is essentially a molecular turbine and a generator.
    • oh. a turbine. Damm thing spins ~18000 rpm at medium throttle, pumping out elec- ATP. ATP.

    Oops… it’s turbines all the way down.
