    Assuming Energy = Mass x Velocity: Did you calculate the Hammer Velocity in a 'free drop' compared to the velocity in the 'controlled down motion'? Of course RPM and belt-tension is going to play a major role in the outcome. In other words, is the hammer velocity =/> than it would with be with the DaVinci Cam hammer?
