2 The ratchet: how to extract work from molecular chaos An old problem (Smoluchowski 1912, Feynman 1963) Solution: rectification of thermal fluctuations becomes possible when operating under nonequilibrium conditions, as is the case in living organisms (2nd principle, Maxwell demon) The Feynman ratchet often referred to as a Brownian motor; could drive and control the activity at small scale: - rapidly increasing nanotechnology - small scale biological systems
3 Breaking equilibrium T 1 molecular gas granular gas T 2 ratchet effect with elastic collisions ratchet effect with inelastic collisions C. Van den Broeck, R. Kawai, P. Meurs, Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, (2004) Costantini G, Marconi Marini Bettolo U, Puglisi A, Phys. Rev. E 75, 4 (2006) geometric asymmetry temperature difference breaking of spatial symmetry breaking of temporal symmetry geometric asymmetry dissipative collisions Coulomb friction can break equilibrium and drive the motor even with elastic collisions and single temperature
4 A possible realization of a granular ratchet a usually neglected factor with asymmetric geometry The motion of the rotator can be modelled by a stochastic equation I = inertia, σ = sign function, Г = viscous drag
5 Stochastic dynamics It can be rewritten two relevant time scales inter-collisional time stopping time n = grain number density Σ = total rotator cross-section (perimeter x height) control parameter β β >> 1: friction dominated dynamics, Rare Collisions Limit RLC << 1: collision dominated dynamics, Frequent Collisions Limit FLC
6 Boltzmann equation Under the assumption of Molecular Chaos, from the stochastic equation one can derive the Boltzmann equation for the rotator velocity distribution function p t The collisional term contains - the rates for the transitions that include the Heaviside step function and the particles velocity pdf - the velocity dependent collision frequency We assume Gaussian particle velocity pdf
7 FCL ( ) The two limits The Boltzmann equation can be expanded in the small probe form factor = 0 for symmetric probes α = restitution coefficient This predicts: - zero drift for symmetric probe (A FCL =0) - ω v 0 for an asymmetric shape - zero drift for elastic collisions (α=1)
8 The two limits RCL ( ) Each collision produces an independent increment probe form factor = 0 for symmetric probes α = restitution coefficient This predicts But also - zero drift for symmetric probe (A RCL =0) - ω v 0 3 for an asymmetric shape - the rotation direction can change (with a zero crossing at some value of β) - the effect should survive also for α=1 (elastic collisions) - since in RCL ω v 0 3 while ω v 0, one expects a maximum drift at intermediate β
9 Monte Carlo simulations RCL dashed lines = theory FCL
10 Experimental Setup S L R high-speed camera for particle tracking and statistics diffusive lighting dome ball bearings angular encoder for probe monitoring friction source probe (not connected to the shaker granular gas plexiglass container accelerometer electrodynamic shaker
11 Experimental observation of net drift effect slow drift due to mechanical imprecisions
12 Experimental measurement of the drift effect in the two limits acceleration = 14 g FCL Frequent Collision Limit Rare Collision Limit RCL acceleration = 4 g grains pdf
13 Experimental measurement of the drift effect in the two limits stochastic resonances inversion of rotation
14 Elastic collisions: just simulations GR probe
15 Coulomb friction alone produces a ratchet effect even in the ideal (elastic) case. Being energy injected through an equilibrium bath, a possible miniaturized device acting as a micromotor driven by friction can be envisaged Conclusions Friction can be enough to supply the dissipation needed to drive the system out-of equilibrium The ratchet effect is computed, simulated and experimentally observed It is predicted that it can be observed even with non-dissipative collisions It must be observable at the micro and nanoscale not with macro grains (inelastic) Stochastic resonance that depends on the competition between friction and collisions It can separate rotations in opposite directions
