The Watt is a unit of power, not a unit of force. The Newton is a unit of force, and a Watt is a Newton-meter/second.TAKE THIS WATT AS A INPUT FORCE NOT AS A INPUT ELECTRICITY.
You can multiply force (mechanical advantage), at the expense of greater distance. E.g., apply half the force over twice the distance using a lever.Now I hope that how I will multiply the force for free.
But guess what? Energy = Force * Distance (when they are in alignment). So when you apply half the force over twice the distance, the energy input is the same. The energy input is not multiplied.
Your seesaw arrangement is not going to multiply energy.
