In my cam follower system,
1. Follower is offset.
2. Force is applied from follower to cam and by using this force cam is rotated.
3. We can decide how much follower come down for helping cam to rotate particular circumference length.
4. Follower down 6 cm with 100 kg and rotate cam of 27 cm at 70 kg.
5. Input energy we use to move follower is =0.06*100 =6 N-Meter
6 Out put energy we get on cam = 0.27*70 = 18.9 N-Meter

You can find exact drawing and prototype at http://mechanicalresearch.info/

Fine!

I have read something about Mathcad in the newspaper under the Mechanism

Specifically, we need to model the mechanism by Mathcad and post the animation here http://communities.ptc.com/groups/kinematic-models-in-mathcad
