Cannibalizing Electronic Parts

I decided that one of my next projects is to build a flashlight to practice my soldering skills. I realized the LEDs I have aren't bright enough so I decided to take apart my old flashlight (to build a new flash light... I know) Inside I found a motor, capacitor, gears, and an on/off switch. ...No electronic is safe now. Anything that breaks will be taken apart and used for new projects.

Edit: I've now cannibalized a computer mouse and portable speaker system. Got myself a battery pack, DC power adapter, two speakers, a volume knob, aux in, and possibly some bluetooth hookups. Will have to explore the new stuff more in the coming weeks.
