Where would I look for a timer that would turn on an AC circuit for a short
time. Slightly different than the outdoor light timers, for I would like to
turn if on for small amounts of time, say five minutes every two hours.

I used an analog clock for similar purposes, my latest variation turns
on a 12vdc pump for 3 min every 15 min. I soldered wires to the hands
and used aluminum foil on the face to make contact to operate a relay.
Really crude but cheap & worked.
