1. An orthopedic rotary tool, comprising:
an energy storage element configured to accumulate rotational energy;
a drive system including a first rotary component and a second rotary component,
wherein the first rotary component is configured to impart rotation to the energy storage element;
an actuator system including at least a first actuator element disposed on the first rotary component and a second actuator element disposed on the second rotary component;
a coupling mechanism operable between coupled states and decoupled states; and
an output element;
wherein, during operation of the orthopedic rotary tool:
the energy storage element accumulates the rotational energy via the drive system,
relative rotation between the first rotary component and the second rotary component causes interactions between the first actuator element and the second actuator element,
the interactions transitioning the coupling mechanism between the coupled states and the decoupled states, and
when the coupling mechanism is in a coupled state, the energy storage element is configured to deliver a torque impulse to the output element.
