Looking for a book that I read in grade school circa 1973. My memory is hazy, but I remember the following:
- Scientist/child accidentally invents a special friction-less substance (perhaps from Coca Cola)
- Might have Robert Fulton in the title or as a character in the book
Thanks.
Try “Bob Fulton’s Amazing Soda Stretcher.” The first Amazon review affirms the discovery of a friction-eliminating substance:
