Abstract
The simplest solutions (orbits) to the recently introduced Lorentz gas with rotating scatterers are found by considering its one-dimensional one-particle reduction. This model has only one parameter which can be viewed as the amount of energy transfer between the scatterers and the particle during a collision. Exact solutions of the system are found for several values of this parameter. For some of these values, the dynamics is shown to be in many respects similar to the dynamics of the deterministic Lorentz lattice gases.
