Re: motorised pounding mallet

Would this sort of thing work for you? The wheel pushes the hammer up and then drops it. Doing this makes the hammer fall faster than it rises.

You shouldn't have any problem with the pyramid. You just need to put the lever just underneath the top vertex and run the axle off the supports. I can draw a picture if my words don't make sense.
