[Schematic: Zapthrottle Mote Extractor] is a quest reward for the quest 
[60] The Zapthrottle Mote Extractor!.
Cost from basic components
Notes
This item is used to extract motes from various clouds, gases, mists and vortexes in Outland and Nagrand. It can be put to use on the fairly distinctive, wandering clouds as long as your character is in close proximity to them. Simply activate the device when you are near a cloud.
In Burning Crusade ()
- Arcane Vortices in Netherstorm for [Motes of Mana]
- Felmist in Shadowmoon Valley for [Motes of Shadow]
- Swamp Gas in Zangarmarsh and The Steamvault for [Motes of Water]
- Windy Clouds in Nagrand for [Motes of Air]
Note that Arcane Vortices are normally invisible, so you will need either the ability to 
[Detect Invisibility] or specialized equipment such as the 
[Ultra-Spectropic Detection Goggles] or the class-specific engineering goggles.
One common misconception is that this item can also be used to extract Motes of Water from the Pure Water that spawns in fishing spots around Outland, particularly in Nagrand. Pure Water in fact gives up its bounty to players who fish from it, not to mote extractors.
Note that Windy Clouds will very frequently spawn on top of the floating islands that are dotted about the Nagrand region.
Also note that other methods exist for acquiring Motes.
Be sure you have bag space before you start extraction. The cloud disappears after extraction whether you collected the motes or not.
In Wrath of the Lich King ()
Various clouds and such also exist in Northrend where the Zapthrottle Mote Extractor can be used to extract such things as Crystallized ingredients. The main difference is that more than one kind of element can be extracted, unlike the ones in Outland.[1]
- Arctic Clouds in Howling Fjord and Dragonblight produce [Crystallized Air] and [Crystallized Water].
- Cinder Clouds in the Savage Thicket in Sholazar Basin, the Obsidian Dragonshrine in Dragonblight, and the Cauldron of Flame in Wintergrasp produce [Crystallized Fire].
- Steam Clouds around the Geyser Fields and Scalding Pools in Borean Tundra and throughout Sholazar Basin produce [Crystallized Fire] and [Crystallized Water].
