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 than a distinct set of natural athletes. However, the team quickly became successful as it competed in Eastern Nations at Amherst in 1980 and 1981. The years from 1982-1985 were building years for Brownian Motion. While they won few games, 1983 saw Brown's first attempt at running a zone-defense. The same year also saw Brown host sectionals and make its first bid at Regionals. The following year turned out to be a critical year in the development of Brown's program. In the summer of 1984, several Brownian Motion players spent their summer at Stanford University. When they returned, they imparted
