A Zero Gravity Pellet Dispenser for Use with Primates in Long-Term Space Flights

摘要

A device that can be used to dispense food pellets to primates in a zero-gravity environment is described. The device is controlled electronically but the food is delivered mechanically when a lever is actuated. The feeder has a capacity for enough food to sustain a 50pound chimpanzee for as long as 30 days. (Author)
