You wouldn't be able to rely on mechanical springs. You would either have to use a hydraulic method or charged gas to maintain the pressure on the rollers. All the springs do is hold the rollers to the point of bind so the clutch locks up as soon as the shaft changes direction.
A typical starter clutch is about as big around as a soda can and about 3/4" or 1" thick. They are strong enough to turn over a 1.3L motorcycle engine.
