The moments of the angular velocity are calculated. The role of thermal non-equilibrium and chiral asymmetry are discussed. Invoking Onsager symmetry, the same configuration can be used to transfer heat from one reservoir to another upon application of an external torque, turning the Brownian motor into a Brownian refrigerator. The orders of magnitude of these effects for a real physical realization are estimated.
