Maybe instead of a linear leverage force, we can apply a rotational leverage force to the block? I think the answer lies in this possibility.

Why? Because if the linear force is increased with the length of the handle to the hydraulic car jack (as long as it is rigid and don't break), we could do the same with centrifugal force. As the speed of the centrifugal force increases, it is acting like the power of the length of the handle.

And the greatness of this concept is that there is no limit to the weight being lifted as long as the centrifugal force is constantly supplying the hydraulic force needed to lift the object.

Imagine you have a hydraulic floor jack. The longer the handle, the less effort you will have to lift your car.

Imagine that they did away with the handle, and replaced it with a device that pushed out water into the hydraulic jack, and the faster the device spins (like a figure skater) the more leverage would be applied.

I think that is the answer. Here is the next question: Who wants to build it? :)
