Autonomous free-energy transducer working under thermal fluctuations
arXiv:physics/0501133 · doi:10.1016/j.physd.2005.01.013
Abstract
By a modular combination of mesoscopic detectors and gates, we present a thoughtful pump that transports gas particles against the difference of their density at the expense of the diffusion of another species of gas particles. We also discuss briefly the relevance of the model to the study of structure-function relationship of the biomolecular machines.
