.....can be a simple change,of an old design:the counterweight trebuchet.

Some information at:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trebuchet

 Can we turn,vary the original design into a gravity powered motor ("peace" machine)?

Try to take an attentive watching at a short movie :

Here,the interesting point is related to the top position:the short arm changes into a long arm,due to inertia,with no additional contrivance.

If we replace the purpose of a counterweight trebuchet...to throw out projectiles,with to "push,change" short arm into a long arm,due to inertia, can we imagine a slightly modified design?!

.....but playing the hinged (yellow) fixed arm , as a variable one ( we attach a spring ) , as :
