First of all a class has to be derived from MonoBehaviour and has to be placed in it's own file where the file name matches the classname in order to be attached as component to a gameobject. Second you can't create MonoBehaviour derived classes (or components in general) with "new". Therefore you can't use a constructor with parameters.

To actually add a component to a GameObject you have to use GameObject. AddComponent();.

Components can't live on their own. They always need to be attached to a gameobject.

Finally some additional hints:

The generic version of GetComponent returns already the type you specified in the generic parameter, so there's no need to cast the return type again.
Classnames should be PascalCase ( so they should start with a capital letter).
