FAQ from the comments
1. What do you do with all the motors?
You might be new here, but nearly every project on my channel has an electric motor in it. I love making things that move. Also I create teaching videos (like the one you just watched), so I am looking to collect as many different motor types as I can find, then create videos about how they work and how to use them. Check out bonus 2 from the references above.
2. Can you make a generator/windmill/ etc with these motors?
Check out my series on the generator project. You will learn a great deal there.

3. Which motors can you use in a go kart?
I have a series of videos about my electric go kart.

Final Note:
PLEASE UNDERSTAND...I receive hundreds of messages on all platforms (email, Facebook, comments etc) asking for advice, and help with projects. At this volume, I simply can't do one on one advice.
