That is called a flex shaft. You’ll see them commonly on rotary tool like Dremel. That’s an interesting application in the video. Changing the input on the shaft is basically like shifting a transmission.

Thank you! Yeah the only term I could think of was worm drive but after looking that clearly wasn’t it
The initial video I saw them moving the “wire” and figured it was electric but then I noticed it was moving as the handle turned so I looked up a video about the device specifically
I understood what it does but yeah the application of it was really cool. Made me think of it as mechanical circuitry
