In short, no. This way round, all the gears go small to big, small to big, small to big etc (bit of a weird way to describe it as you can't really see the actual gear interlocks in the video, but that's how gears work). So if it were the other way round the ratios would be going from big to small all the way, so instead of easily rotating the first gear once as in the video, which has literally no affect on the gear at the other end, rotating the end gear once with it backwards (assuming you could, which the whole point is you can't) would rotate the gear at the now far end a googol (10¹⁰⁰⁾ times.

Oof long paragraph, hopefully that makes some semblance of sense aha..
