Re:Making a Googol:1 Reduction with Lego Gears [video] by simias on Thursday July 16, 2020 @06:26AM (#23857535)
You can trade torque for speed basically. So yes. "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world". That being said it would be so slow that you'd probably break something before you've moved a millimeter.

The same Youtube channel demonstrates how to use gear reduction to increase torque and bend a steel bar with legos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRn5waE0qfk
