Abstract: We consider a physical Ehrenfests' Wind-Tree model where a moving particle is a hard ball rather than (mathematical) point particle. We demonstrate that a physical periodic Wind-Tree model is dynamically richer than a physical or mathematical periodic Lorentz gas. Namely, the physical Wind-Tree model may have diffusive behavior as the Lorentz gas does, but it has more superdiffusive regimes than the Lorentz gas. The new superdiffusive regime where the diffusion coefficient D(t)~(ln t)^2 of dynamics seems to be never observed before in any model.
