dynamic gear rotated by particles

i have been trying to use particles as a dynamic force within maya to simulate brownian motion.
i was able to create particles with a turbulent force acting upon them which i could use to simulate the air or liquid particles which cause brownian motion, but have been unable to find out how to make the particles move a rigid body, in attempt to be able to do this i completed this tutorial which rotates a gear using particles under a gravitation force field.  i created a script for this gear and placed it along with the maya file in the courses drive in the directory:
Spring 08 Courses/COURSES/326C_pattern formation/Brownian Motion
