Abstract: Recent studies on Brownian motors driven by colored non-Gaussian noises have shown that the departure of the noise distribution from Gaussian behavior induces an enhancement of its current and efficiency. Here, we discuss some new aspects of this phenomenon focusing on some analytical results based on an adiabatic approximation and in the analysis of the role of long probability distribution tails.
