In generic Hamiltonian systems with a mixed phase-space, chaotic transport may be directed and ballistic rather than diffusive. We investigate one particular model showing this behaviour, namely a spatially periodic billiard chain in which electrons move under the influence of a perpendicular magnetic field. We analyse the phase-space structure and derive an explicit expression for the chaotic transport velocity. Unlike previous studies of directed chaos our model has a parameter regime in which the dispersion of an ensemble of chaotic trajectories around its moving centre of mass is essentially diffusive. We explain how in this limit the deterministic chaos reduces to a biased random walk in a billiard with a rough surface. The diffusion constant for this simplified model is calculated analytically.
