found: Contemporary physics, May/June 2005:p. 161 (Brownian motors are devices which "rectify" Brownian motion, i.e. they can generate a current of particles out of unbiased fluctuations. Brownian motors are important for the understanding of molecular motors, and are also promising for the realization of new nano-electronic devices)
found: Physica A, Nov. 1, 2006:p. 20 (Brownian motors are small physical micro- or even nano-machines that operate far from thermal equilibrium by extracting the energy from both thermal and non-equilibrium fluctuations in order to generate work against external loads. They present the physical analogue of bio-molecular motors that also work out of equilibrium to direct intracellular transport and to control motion and sensation in cells)
found: Fishbine, G. The investor's guide to nanotechnology & micromachines, 2002:p. 104 (The concept behind the brownian motor is that, with a proper mechanical design, it is possible to extract energy from normal brownian motion and thereby get a free infinite supply of energy (provided the temperature of the whole system doesn't fall to zero) ... At this time, brownian motors are a far-fetched but potentially valuable candidate among the power systems available for nanotechnology)
found: Wikipedia, Aug. 4, 2010(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)
