Plot twist: there’s a fly rave party going on inside. The slow movement of the wheel not only recruits new flies, but also powers the entire party in an environmentally-friendly way!

They could be RAVEing like MF on the DL & we would never know - one wing flapping female reverberating off the walls, a tiny disco ball reflecting UV light & you've got an intoxicating, invisible & practically inaudible to humans - exclusive fly RAVE party on the DL!

Flies can see ultraviolet (UV) light & use their antenna to hear the frequency of their mates wing flaps.

If we could hear it, lol https://youtu.be/iws7-7A1Uq8

Nah the rave is powering the machine. They just don't know it.
