Self Running Motor on You Tube??

[CTG Labs]

I would like to know the name of the white pieces around the device.

Coils...

Coils...

Thank you @ctglabs

I know they are coils, but what I want to know (that is if they come inside of that white thing) how I ask for them on Radio shack.
I mean, will I say: I want coils surrounded by a white case?
Or the case is something that I suppose to build myself?

I ask this questions because every time I go to a radio shack and ask for a part, almost always the clerk does not know what I am talking about. They assume that I am the one that knows about electronic parts. And I am new to this.

Hi Jesus,

I like the effort, work and sharing you have done to date in all the topics you start or participate in ... thanks

Those coils are taken out of a relay! ...something like the sample below. He probably bought them at Radio Shack as he says. These coils are great for this kind of project since they have been design for efficiency. They make a strong magnetic field with little power, (high amount of windings). Each coil can easily measure 75 Ohms DC resistance, so they put out high voltage spikes if a magnet goes by them.

The relays have one screw on top (between arrows) and he used this same bracket to srew the coils down on his project board. One just need to bend the bracket from 90 degrees to flat.

Hope this helps
