This component was pulled from a device that was used to detect movement. When I first saw this part, I thought it was an electrolytic capacitor, buit upon closer inspection, i found that if I shake the part, it has a small metal weight in end opposite the two wires that rotates around. I'm guessing it is some kind of mechanical motion sensor, but I'm not sure what the technical name is for it. I'm interested in finding a datasheet for it or a similar part to use for another project.



Here's a couple of picture of it:

  • I know the text in the op leads us to this conclusion, but doesn't it look more like a vibration motor?

It looks like a vibration motor. A small electric motor with an unbalanced weight on the end of the shaft. Apply a small voltage and it should spin and vibrate.



Looks a lot like this one.

    Yes, that is exactly what it is! I also connected it to a power supply to confirm that it does spin and vibrate. Thank you!

    So, Jason, how do you explain your first statement, "This component was pulled from a device that was used to detect movement."? I'm just wondering what sent you off on the wrong track?

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
