Not at all. It's a lever that multiply the current drag. With no wind, no drag, and 0 multiply by any number is still zero.
And like in any mechanical lever (like also in a gearbox) you can multiply the drag, but you decrease the force and so the acceleration. And I haven't take in account friction in account yet.
If you consider the friction at certain point increasing the multiply factor, you also reduce the force below the friction force and you get no increased drag anymore.
Like in the first video linked, when you don't push the bar, the car don't move at all, when you push the bar, the car move forward by a ration equal the ration of the wheels. No magic involved.
