    I was just trying to be efficient and easily achieveable.  However, if its a bit of snap and pizzaz you are looking for...

     

    1. A black powder driven piston.

    2. Series of pinch rollers with gradually reduced spacing.

    3. Pneumatic driven mallet on a pivot.

    4. Gear reduced crush platform with an old sail boat wheel as the crank.

     

    Each of these is a bit different in their own right, but I believe they have the required gee whiz factor.
