The jackscrew that powers the elevator is a very heavy duty mechanical piece that has to hold the horizontal stabilizer true under load of the 737 in flight for stable flight. If the humans could do that I dont think there would be two crashed planes.

There is youtube video of the device in operation but I cant locate it.
