I received a weird knex motor with some knex on ebay. Has anyone seen this before?
Hi! I bought a huge lot of knex a few months ago and it included a weird little orange thing that looks like a motor. I have no idea what it is or what it does. Does anyone know what it is?
Thanks.

That is part of the solar motor. If you don't have the solar panel or wires, then it's useless.

Your can make it work off a 9v battery and 2 wires.

I'm not very good with electricity so I think I'll just throw it away.

Don't throw it away, give it to me! :-P Or at least keep it just in case you get the solar panel for it someday.

Nothing is useless.
Either find out what voltage the solar panel puts out or hook it up to a variable power supply and start low.
Either pin can be used for pos or neg. Unless there's a diode in there to prevent draining the batteries on solar. If you can't get it to run then reverse the connections.
I'll bet it runs pretty well on 2-3 volts.
