Modified Feynman ratchet with velocity-dependent fluctuations

Modified Feynman ratchet with velocity-dependent fluctuations

Abstract: The randomness of Brownian motion at thermodynamic equilibrium can be spontaneously broken by velocity-dependence of fluctuations, i.e., by dependence of values or probability distributions of fluctuating properties on Brownian-motional velocity. Such randomness-breaking can spontaneously...
