Would this work?
To explain simply, shaft 1 has three different sized gears on it drawn red. Also red but on shaft 2 exists another set of gears. But they are not connected to shaft 2, they spin freely and independent from each other. They are connected to the gears on shaft 1. There by we have three different gear ratios. Now the blue crosses symbolise ratchets gears. The three gears on shaft 2 are connected to shaft 2 via ratchet gears. This means the gears can spin shaft 2, but not get spun by it.
The idea here is that because of the different gear ratios, the gears on shaft 2 will all have different speeds. This means the smaller gear of the three, will spin the fastest. As it spins shaft 2 faster then the other gears, they will not get spun by shaft 2, because of the ratchet gears. If torque of the small gear is insuficient and it can not spin shaft 2, the next bigger gear starts spinning shaft 2 and so on.
