Steve, that sounds suspiciously like what happened to "Frothy", the soap 
bubble powered engine I invented. Ran on the spin-cycle principle. Same 
looking guy, did yours have a black hat?

Engine ran clean as a whistle, but it needed some special soap to 
produce bubbles of the correct surface tension for best efficiency. I 
was working on that and had arranged for John Culp to supply, but 
suddenly and inexplicably he was unable to obtain his usual ingredients.

Make you think, eh?
