Something like this would only work if you were charging batteries. Direct input
will not work because the resistance to rotation generated by power consumption
would overcome the input you would be able to provide... Given a couple hundred
pulley's it still wouldn't work because the ratio would be so small that you
would be lucky to get 1 RPM out of it. The lever would need to be so long, you
couldn't feasibly control it.

Anyhow... The video is a bit deceiving, to those who are none the wiser. Placing
a 5# battery on top does not demonstrate the power of the device - spinning
something in place is easy, moving it linearly is hard. You need to demonstrate
resistance to rotation, i.e. torque. Only then can you show it's power
potential. Bottom line is, that it's only use is to charge batteries. In-line
usage will not work very well.
