  The one dimensional motion of a massless Brownian particle on a symmetric
periodic substrate can be rectified by re-injecting its driving noise through a
realistic recycling procedure. If the recycled noise is multiplicatively
coupled to the substrate, the ensuing feed-back system works like a passive
Maxwell's daemon, capable of inducing a net current that depends on both the
delay and the autocorrelation times of the noise signals. Extensive numerical
simulations show that the underlying rectification mechanism is a resonant
nonlinear effect: The observed currents can be optimized for an appropriate
choice of the recycling parameters with immediate application to the design of
nanodevices for particle transport.
