Hi Tom,

Well, spill it out!

Regards, Penno

Tom, it appears that you are a being little 'short' of open yourself...so come on now open up.

We are all here for the benefit of humanity aren't we ?

Regards...

Totoalas,  Good find.
I have several of those coils that I took out of some old motion toys like shown. 

They can be used to make a very simple pulse motors and use very little current.  The batteries last a  long time.  One of my simple motors driven by just one of these coils ran for over 2 days on just one  cheap 9 volt battery.  I would say it is not only simple, but very efficient. 

I also tested one of these as a drive coil on my Muller rotor.  Just one coil produced about 270 rpms for several days.   Not very fast but then again very low current usage.  12 milliamps I believe is what I measured but not sure.  Also remember current is pulsed.   

I have not tried two coils yet.   

You can buy one of these for about 9 or 10 dollars from Office Playground.
