### Description

We focus on an overdamped two-dimensional diffusion of a particle in a corrugated tilted periodic potential. The particle is subjected to two white noise sources with different intensities representing two heat baths at different temperatures. The model dynamics mimics a working principle of the famous Feynman ratchet and pawl. Using a perturbation expansion in potential width, which is similar in spirit to Fick-Jacobs theory, we obtain stationary probability current, mean velocity of the particle and also discuss energetics of the ratchets including its output power and efficiency.
