These screw jacks can exert a force. The force may reduce gravitational
acceleration - which is the physics conception of negative work,
or the force may increase the acceleration provided by gravity - which is the
physics conception of positive work.
The physiological mechanism - the heat engine driven screw jack doing work
- works the same either way.
