This is definitely a possibly solution to the problem of keeping your propeller/wheel alive, but does present some problems in its own right. As another commenter stated, dead objects like teeth, hair, nails, claws, and scales tend to

Great point! I think a valuable thing to understand is that wheels and propellers are very obviously more efficient than legs and wings, respectively. There's a reason ornithopters are at most a curiosity outside of fiction (looking at
