Are basal bodies generating an electric field, keeping cilia and flagellum upright?

Yue Zhao says that centrioles produces an electromagnetic field due to the longitudinal oscillation of its microtubules (MTs), similar to how an electrical current running through a wire produces a magnetic field, and, that motor proteins between the center microtubule and the 9 set of arms with microtubule triplets makes the entire centriole rotate, and that it acts as a molecular dynamo, generating an electromagnetic field that mimics the physical structure of the centriole. Within centrosomes, the orthogonal arrangement of two centrioles will result in that the microtubules of each centriole cut the electromagnetic field generated by the other centriole when rotating.

If centrioles have properties that make them capable of producing electromagnetic fields, as molecular dynamos, are basal bodies in cilia making use of that? Perhaps the cilia are kept upright because they exist within the local electric field of the basal body, and the basal body centriole provides the force needed for the cilia to protrude through the cell membrane.
