heath/zenith wireless door chime problem

[davidbenjamindix]

i purchased a heath/zenith wireless doorbell chime kit (model # SL-6147-WH) that runs off of (2) 1.5 volt batteres, which produces 3V through the doorbell. i then detached the speaker, and am trying to use the doorbell to power a 3V DC motor. (range 1.5-3V). the volts running through the wires where the speaker was soldered is about 3.1V. the motor works because i've tested it with 1.5V and 3V. also, when i depress the push button for the doorbell and the motor is connected, i can hear the vibrations of the 'chime' through the motor. the problem is that the motor is not turning when i depress the button. i wondered if maybe the signal being driven to the motor is sound signal only? are there resistors that need to be taken out? or maybe a transistor? im just starting to learn about electricity, so im just completely confused.

interesting concept,
1) Sound signals are electricity there is no difference, however it is important to note that sound is AC by nature, and you have bought a DC motor,
2) even if you had bought an AC motor it still probably would not work because the AC motor you purchased might be expecting 50/60 Hz and your sound signals are probably made from a multitude of frequencies ranging from 500 Hz to 4000 Hz

anyway this ebay item exactly fits your requirements for a remote controlled switch

unless it NEEDS to be doorbell shaped in which case you can buy one of these doorbells and replace the feed to the light with your DC motor !
