The "Self-Operating Napkin" showcases a whimsical yet intricate design activated by the simple act of raising a soup spoon. As the spoon is lifted, it pulls a string that jerks a ladle, launching a cracker into the air, prompting a parrot to leap after it. This chain reaction causes seeds to fall into a pail and activates a cigar lighter, ultimately igniting a skyrocket that triggers a sickle to cut a string. The final result allows a pendulum with a napkin to elegantly wipe the user's chin. Explore the wonders of Rube Goldberg-like contraptions in this delightful project!

Professor Butts and the Self-Operating Napkin. The "Self-Operating Napkin" is activated when the soup spoon (A) is raised to mouth, pulling string (B) and thereby jerking ladle (C) which throws cracker (D) past parrot (E). Parrot jumps after cracker and perch (F) tilts, upsetting seeds (G) into pail (H). Extra weight in pail pulls cord (I), which opens and lights automatic cigar lighter (J), setting off skyrocket (K) which causes sickle (L) to cut string (M) and allow the pendulum with the attached napkin to swing back and forth, thereby wiping chin.
