Brownian motor Brownian motor Brownian motors are nano-scale or molecular devices by which thermally activated processes (chemical reactions) are controlled and used to generate directed motion in space and to do mechanical or electrical work. These tiny engines operate in an environment where viscosity dominates inertia, and where thermal noise makes moving in a specific direction as difficult as walking in a hurricane: the forces impelling these motors in the desired direction are minuscule in comparison with the random forces exerted by the environment. Because this type of motor is so strongly dependent on random thermal noise, Brownian motors are feasible only
Brownian Motion Ultimate instead of the usual two. When Tufts soundly defeated Brown in the finals at regionals, Brown missed nationals for the first time since 1997. The bright spot for Brownian Motion was the extremely talented freshman class, including Alexander Bowman, Dan MacArthur, Neale Mahoney, Ben Sprung, Paul Vandenberg, and future Callahan Award winner Joshua "Zip" Ziperstein. Entering the 2003 season, Brown was looking to be one of the top programs in college Ultimate, despite failing to qualify for Nationals the previous year. With a relatively young team, Brown won regionals without losing a game, beating a talented UMass squad 17-15 in
