automatic feeder

[fert]

im in the middle of making a automatic feeder for my pheasant shoot but i have come unstuck on where to get a timer unit from.

there are plenty of timers about but i only need the feeder to go off twice a day

and its finding one with the right delay. about six hours.

can anyone shed any light on this subject.

thanks in advance fert.

regarding auto feeder, i remember seeing on a holiday program, they made a device, to feed pond fish while on holiday, out of a kitchen clock, hole drilled

on face of clock , clock sitting on two pieces of timber across pond, i cant remember

how it worked, but basicley all they did was pile food on clock face & every hour

the big hand knocked food through hole &fed fish hope you can improve on this

but thats the general idea, cheers p/b

i also saw that, think it was on trade secrets, they used a batrey clock system, cost around £1

I am glad you said it was a battery clock as I was temted to ask who came round to wind it up while they were away. :thumbs:
