TLDR
In this paper, the authors considered a Brownian particle in a periodic potential under heavy damping and showed that if the particle is subject to an external force having time correlations, detailed balance is lost and the particle can exhibit a nonzero net drift speed.
Abstract
We consider a Brownian particle in a periodic potential under heavy damping. The second law forbids it from displaying any net drift speed, even if the symmetry of the potential is broken. But if the particle is subject to an external force having time correlations, detailed balance is lost and the particle can exhibit a nonzero net drift speed. Thus, broken symmetry and time correlations are sufficient ingredients for transport.

Noise-induced unidirectional transport

TL;DR: In this article, constructive conditions for existence of unidirectional transport are given for systems with state-dependent noise and for forced thermal ratchets, using them, domains of parameters corresponding to unidimensional transport are identified.

Fluctuating-friction molecular motors

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the correlated stochastic fluctuation of the friction coefficient can give rise to long-range directional motion of a particle undergoing Brownian random walk in a constant periodic energy potential landscape.

Overdamped non-contact rectifiers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the dynamics of overdamped systems in a symmetric periodic potential against an external load and show that the mean velocity of the system increases to get the highest value, by appropriate tuning of parameters.
