da vinci's cam hammer
grabcad
The design was meant for manual operation through a crank; rotating the cam causes the hammer mechanism to move along with it. Gravity ensures that the bar connected to the hammer remains close to the cam, as its weight pulls it towards it. As the cam completes a rotation and drops, this motion causes the hammer to fall too. This interesting concept can be found on Leonardo da Vinci's website.
