Brownian noise a white noise signal: meaning that Brownian motion is the integral of the white noise formula_2, whose power spectral density is flat: Note that here formula_4 denotes the Fourier transform, and formula_5 is a constant. An important property of this transform is that the derivative of any distribution transforms as from which we can conclude that the power spectrum of Brownian noise is Brown noise can be produced by integrating white noise. That is, whereas (digital) white noise can be produced by randomly choosing each sample independently, Brown noise can be produced by adding a random offset to each sample
Brownian ratchet for example lifting a weight ("m") against gravity. The energy necessary to do this work apparently would come from the heat bath, without any heat gradient. Were such a machine to work successfully, its operation would violate the second law of thermodynamics, one form of which states: "It is impossible for any device that operates on a cycle to receive heat from a single reservoir and produce a net amount of work." Although at first sight the Brownian ratchet seems to extract useful work from Brownian motion, Feynman demonstrated that if the entire device is at the same temperature, the
