The Jupiter Donkey is a plastic toy used as an EEP demonstration to dramatize how the larger "surface" gravity of Jupiter would crumple a body adapted for Earth surface gravity.
The Jupiter Donkey demonstration was accompanied by the mini-tramp demonstration.
Procedure
To use it, press the bottom part of the donkey's stand. This will remove the tension in the strings holding up its legs. It's legs will collapse. When you let go of the button, the tension is restored.
Patronage
