Spontaneous unidirectional rotation of a symmetric gear driven by spherical active particles
Time reversal asymmetry and spatial anisotropy are considered two prerequisites for Brownian ratchet. An intriguing realization can be achieved by placing an asymmetric gear in the suspension of motile rod-like bacteria. Usually, alignment interactions caused by anisotropic collisions or hydrodynami...
