Brownian ratchet a heat bath in that they undergo random Brownian motion with a mean kinetic energy that is determined by the temperature. The device is imagined as being small enough that the impulse from a single molecular collision can turn the paddle. Although such collisions would tend to turn the rod in either direction with equal probability, the pawl allows the ratchet to rotate in one direction only. The net effect of many such random collisions would seem to be that the ratchet rotates continuously in that direction. The ratchet's motion then can be used to do work on other systems,
Brownian Motion Ultimate team that laid the foundations for the team spirit and intensive training that led to future athletic success. 1989 also witnessed the birth of Disco Inferno, the Brown Women's Ultimate team and the relationship between men's and women's teams helped players reformulate playing and training strategies. Sometime around 1996, Brownian Motion reformed, changing from an "old school" team to a "new school" team with championship dreams. By 1998, Brownian Motion had never won a Sectional's championship. However, making its first cross-country trip as a team, Brownian Motion competed at the premier Stanford Invitational Tournament in 1998, finishing an even 3-3,
