Abstract
In a viscous fluid, a reciprocal motion does not lead to net propulsion by virtue of the Scallop theorem. In a granular medium, we observe that the same reciprocal motion generates a large drift of the moving object. This study investigates the specific mechanisms underlying this propulsion.
