Hammer Cam Pic (lifts its own self up = Push+Pull) a no-waste engine:
Yes; => we made a preliminary first draft animation about a month ago. It isn't by any means the finished product but I got my son over here to do it real quick just to show the Principles involved. The weight falls across an extended Cam that then becomes like a fulcrum and axle at the same time, an offset axle.
On the other side of that cam it lifts itself up. So you have a magnification of power by leverage plus no wasted energy , because what isn't used on the cam side is used on the opposite side. The only thing holding it back would be axle friction, and that can be made to be a very small amount.
