  We consider a system of N point particles moving on a d-dimensional torus.
Each particle is subject to a uniform field E and random speed conserving
collisions. This model is a variant of the Drude-Lorentz model of electrical
conduction. In order to avoid heating by the external field, the particles also
interact with a Gaussian thermostat which keeps the total kinetic energy of the
system constant. The thermostat induces a mean-field type of interaction
between the particles. Here we prove that, starting from a product measure, in
the large N limit, the one particle velocity distribution satisfies a self
consistent Vlasov-Boltzmann equation.. This is a consequence of "propagation of
chaos", which we also prove for this model.
