Mar 30, 2019 at 13:57 comment added William Hird Nikola Tesla invented a one way valve for water/air that has no moving parts, but I don't think this helps you :-( The existence of one way functions is also a MAJOR open problem in computer science/mathematics.

More detail on mechanism type.
Mar 30, 2019 at 9:44 comment added fred_dot_u Would something that involves a magnet meet your requirements? There are diagonal dovetail locking puzzles that have a bearing to block movement, held in locked position by a magnet. A sharp knock moves the ball to free the dovetail. I suspect one could modify such a puzzle to make the lock permanent, apart from disassembly.
