Recently Tu and Ou-Yang [1] reported a theoretical study suggesting the possibility of constructing a molecular motor constructed from a double-walled carbon nanotube placed in in a thermal bath which exhibits a directional motion with the variation of the bath temperature. In the present paper, we investigate this problem via molecular dynamics simulation and assess the influence of the nanotubes vibrational modes on this system.
