How long should a tail be for a swimming organism?

The video tutorial explores the design of an ideal swimming microorganism, focusing on the optimal head-to-tail ratio. It explains that a tail should be 12 times the length of the head for efficient swimming, regardless of the environment or organism. This ratio is validated by examining 400 microorganisms, showing that biology naturally follows this principle. The tutorial concludes with applications in designing microtransporters, emphasizing the importance of this ratio for efficiency.
