Abstract: In the last decades, many mathematicians have studied the {em curl operator} on compact (both with or without empty boundary) three-manifolds, mainly the behaviour of its spectrum and some iso-pe-ri-me-tric problems associated with it. In this paper, we reveal an (unexpected?) relation between this curl operator and the Dirac operator correspondingto any of the spin

^{c}

structures on the manifold. Then, we make the ellipticity of

D

(curl is not) and the many facts already known about the spectrum of

D

to recuperate with almost immediate proofs some results above curl and obtain others unknown for me. {em For example, we will find that the eigenvalues of curl, removing the point spectrum zero, are always, up to a fixed constant, lower bounded by those of the Dirac and the equality characterize the round three-sphere}. Also, we also show that {em there do not exist mean-convex

L^{2}

-solutions for the isoperimetric problem associated to curl}, as Cantarella, de Turck, Gluck y Teytel cite{CdTGT} had conjectured, while other authors proved properties for these unknown solutions (adding always whether optimal domains exist) perhaps by thinking in the case of the successful maximization of the {em helicity.}
