Abstract: The motion of a heavily damped Brownian particle which has an internal degree of freedom is considered. Directed motion of the Brownian particle is generated by external action which acts only on the internal degree of freedom. For a simple case that the internal degree of freedom is rotated continuously, the current is evaluated explicitly.
