We consider a non-interacting one-dimensional gas accelerated by a constant and uniform external field. The energy absorbed from the field is transferred via elastic collisions to a bath of scattering obstacles. At gas-obstacle encounters the particles of the gas acquire a fixed kinetic energy. The
We have studied the approach to the steady state in thermal ratchets looking for signs of the future development of a non-zero current. We have concentrated on the evolution of the statistical root mean square fluctuations of the position of the walker as well as its temporal correlations. We find o
