A blue bottle fly proves far stronger by weight than a man as it can lift about 170 times its own weight. A scientist tied a fly to a tiny wagon weighing one twenty eighth ounce plus six ounces of wagon, and the fly moved it a considerable distance. A gravity clock winds itself by its weight and needs eight days to rise to the top.
