我们认为，最近的实验凯利等人。化学国际教育英语36，1866（1997）]的分子棘轮，除了符合热力学第二定律，是一个测试的原则详细平衡棘轮。我们建议实验，使用不对称棘轮，以进一步测试的原则。我们还指出的方法，涉及的温度的时间变化，使它有方向的运动。
We argue that the recent experiments of Kelly et al. [Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 36, 1866 (1997)] on molecular ratchets, in addition to being in agreement with the second law of thermodynamics, is a test of the principle of detailed balance for the ratchet. We suggest experiments, using an asymmetric ratchet, to further test the principle. We also point out methods involving a time variation of the temperature to give it a directional motion.
