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 their knowledge of the Stanford team's offense on the Brown team and turned B-Mo into a successful squad. While certainly not dominating the Northeast, Brown became a regional contender, returning to Regionals for the second year in a row. Brownian Motion had become a Northeastern power by this point and won a considerable number of the games it played. The 1986 and 1987 seasons saw a reasonably competitive team face some of the toughest teams in the country. The 1985-1986 season also saw beginnings of the "Fish" logo that remains the official symbol of Brownian Motion to this day, still
